Please try the wvdial rpms at: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/scratch/notting/task_218610/ Those wvdial packages appear to work fine. Fixed in 1.60-3.fc8. |
Description of problem: A new Modem Dialup Configuration fails to dial, because it launches wvdial with an obsolete --remotename argument. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-network-1.4.3-1.fc8 wvdial-1.60-1.fc8 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make any change so s-c-n asks to save the config (actually, it seems even no change prompts this action), or create a new Modem Dialup config. 2. Save config. 3. Look in /etc/ppp/peers/<connection-name>, see errant wvdial connect command. 4. Try to activate the PPP connection. It fails every time without actually dialing. Actual results: connect "/usr/bin/wvdial --remotename VerizonWireless --chat 'VerizonWireless'" Expected results: connect "/usr/bin/wvdial --chat 'VerizonWireless'" Additional info: NCDialup.py contains this code with the wrong wvdial argument: try: file = open(filename, "w") line = 'connect "/usr/bin/wvdial --remotename ' + \ '%s --chat \'%s\'"' % ( parent.DeviceId, name ) file.write(line + '\n') log.lch(2, filename, line) file.close() Apparently, wvdial removed the "--remotename" option at some point, but this code was never updated. The man page for wvdial still mentions the option, but --usage and --help do not: >wvdial --usage Usage: wvdial [-cn?V] [-C configfile] [--chat] [--config=configfile] [--no-syslog] [--help] [--usage] [--version] [SECTION]... [OPTION=value]... >wvdial --help Usage: wvdial [OPTION...] [SECTION]... [OPTION=value]... An intelligent PPP dialer. -c, --chat used when running wvdial from pppd -C, --config=configfile use configfile instead of /etc/wvdial.conf -n, --no-syslog don't send output to SYSLOG -?, --help Give this help list --usage Give a short usage message -V, --version Print program version Mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or optional for any corresponding short options. Optional SECTION arguments refer to sections in configuration file (usually) /etc/wvdial.conf, $HOME/.wvdialrc or the file specified by --config. Specified sections are all read, with later ones overriding previous ones. Any options not in the listed sections are taken from [Dialer Defaults]. Also, optional OPTION=value parameters allow you to override options within the configuration files.
