Comment 1 Robert M Williams 2006-05-31 15:22:42 UTC
system on which failure occurs is a laptop
basic specs:
processor : intel centrino 1.73GHz
video     : ATI X700 PCI-e
network   : broadcom gigabit ethernet (connection confirmed before registration
attempt)
network   : intel ipw2200bg wireless (not connected at time of this specific
attempt, but same failure when is primary network adapter)

clicking the hardware details from the registration screen, prior to
registration attemp, does display system config

problem does not occur if 'send hardware profile' de-selected prior to submission

tried registering few test boxes and seems to be doing the right thing as of
latest up2date

# rpm -q up2date
up2date-4.5.5-7.el4
