Description Reuben Thomas 2004-01-01 02:59:21 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; U) Opera 7.23  [en]

Description of problem:
Whenever I select or deselect a device in one profile, it is selected 
or deselected in all profiles. This means that profiles are pretty 
much useless (unless I set up the links in 
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles manually).

This seemed such a major bug, I double-checked by moving aside my 
/etc/sysconfig/networking directory and restarting (this caused a 
crash, so I did mkdir for that directory, which then allowed me to 
recreate my config from scratch but only confirmed the bug described 
above).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.3.10-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tick or untick a device in one profile.
2. Save the settings.
3. Switch to another profile. The change will have also been made to 
this profile. Looking at the hard links in 
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles confirms that this is really 
happening.
    

Actual Results:  The activation/deactivation of devices in profiles 
should be independent (especially when the devices are network 
logical copies of each other, which the manual says should not be 
able to be activated in the same profile!)

Expected Results:  The settings in different profiles should be 
different.

Additional info:

This tool seems badly broken which made me wonder if it's something 
that I'm doing, but since removing the whole config and restarting 
gave the same results I'm reporting as a bug. As an example of 
another problem, if I copy a device (to get a logical network copy), 
the corresponding file isn't created in 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, so I then can't activate the device..

I found that I must create a default profile for each case (ie. one
home, one office).  Using the default profile for "office", for
example, did not work and I saw the same thing you did.

IMO, the UI behaviour is not quite as expected, in my opinion.
