Description Michael Carney 2009-03-23 19:02:14 UTC

Description of problem:
If one sets ONBOOT=no in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and configures static IP networking using knetworkmanager, the user's settings are not applied to the system as expected.

It appears that NetworkManager is having trouble dealing with the IPv4 address configuration given it by knetworkmanager.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
knetworkmanager-0.7-0.8.20080926svn.fc10.i386
NetworkManager-0.7.0.99-3.fc10.i386

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set ONBOOT=no in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
2.Use knetworkmanager to configure a static IP setup
3.Apply setup using knetworkmanager
  
Actual results:
No valid IPv4 configuration for eth0.

Expected results:
A valid IPv4 configuration for eth0 using the parameters I configured using knetworkmanager.

Comment 1 Michael Carney 2009-03-23 19:04:54 UTC

Workaround: Configure static IP networking using system-config-network, and set ONBOOT=yes in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. NetworkManager works fine with static IP configuration from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.

Comment 2 Steven M. Parrish 2009-05-31 01:36:21 UTC

Thanks for letting us know of this workaround.  Is this still an issue with the latest KDE updates.  With kde4.2  knetworkmanager is no longer a standalone package for fedora.  If this is still an issue please file a bug report upstream at http://bugs.kde.org and add upstream info to this report.

Comment 3 Steven M. Parrish 2009-09-08 02:15:10 UTC

Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to investigate the issue further, and we have not received feedback to the information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released for the reporter's distribution.

Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional information.

Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA.
