Description mikej3 2002-08-22 18:37:38 UTC
Description of Problem:

Configuration of LinkSys NE2000-type card causes GUI applet in Control Pnael to 
bomb.  

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


How Reproducible:

Attempt to configure unrecognized LinkSys NE2000-type card using GUI applet in 
either KDE or Gnome.  This has failed on both a 180 Mhz PPro and a 90 MHz P90 
machine.  

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RH 7.3, Start KDE
2. Open Control Panel, run network configuration applet
3. Click "Apply", get following output, card not configured.  

Actual Results:
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/sbin/neat", line 1402, in ?

  File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gtk.py", line 2676, in

confkey: io
self: 
[<netconfpkg.HardwareList.Hardware instance at 8580948>]


Expected Results:

Configured eth0 interface on LynkSys card

Additional Information:
	
I have been using these cards since RH 5 something or other, and this was a 
clean install rather than an upgrade.  On the P90, I was able to modprobe in the 
ne module, and after a few swift kicks to the modules configuration was able to 
get the LAN configured.  This has not yet been done on the PPro 180 system.

Red Hat apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We do want to
make sure that no important bugs slip through the cracks.

Red Hat Linux 7.3 and Red Hat Linux 9 are no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc.
They are maintained by the Fedora Legacy project (http://www.fedoralegacy.org/)
for security updates only. If this is a security issue, please reassign to the
'Fedora Legacy' product in bugzilla. Please note that Legacy security update
support for these products will stop on December 31st, 2006.

If this is not a security issue, please check if this issue is still present
in a current Fedora Core release. If so, please change the product and version
to match, and check the box indicating that the requested information has been
provided.

If you are currently still running Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 9, please note that
Fedora Legacy security update support for these products will stop on December
31st, 2006. You are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release
or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may
be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/.

Any bug still open against Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 9 at the end of 2006 will be
closed 'CANTFIX'. Again, if this bug still exists in a current release, or is a
security issue, please change the product as necessary. We thank you for your
help, and apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point.
