Description

It is my strong suspicion that this is because some piece of the system somewhere is expecting interfaces to always be named 'eth#', 'p#p#', or 'p#p#.#' but never 'p##.p#'. I discovered that there is a file named: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Wired_connection_1 and it contains all the details that NetworkManager is using to set up my network connection. If I rename this file to: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-p12p1 then system-config-network-tui starts working. Also, the liveinst program from the livecd installer starts working. So something that's responsible for initially populating the network-scripts directory with all the ifcfg-* files is making a dumb mistake. This file does not get created until you change something about the connection to 'non-default' using the graphical network configuration thing from the gnome control panel. But once it is created, you can rename it to reflect the device name and things work fine afterward. This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
