Description of problem: redhat-config-network always crashes on startup. The installer never prompted me to configure my wireless card in my laptop (only the wired, which was not hooked up). I manually created a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 and brought it up. All worked well. Running the redhat network configuration, however, resulted in: --- BEGIN BACKTRACE OUTPUT --- Component: redhat-config-network Version: 1.2.0 Summary: TB /usr/src/build/228093-i386/install/usr/lib/python2.2/sre.py:137:search:TypeError: expected string or buffer Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/redhat-config-network-gui", line 154, in ? window = mainDialog() File "/usr/src/build/226257-noarch/install/usr/share/redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/gui/maindialog.py", line 154, in __init__ File "/usr/src/build/226257-noarch/install/usr/share/redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/gui/maindialog.py", line 225, in load File "/usr/src/build/226257-noarch/install/usr/share/redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/gui/maindialog.py", line 232, in loadDevices File "/usr/src/build/226257-noarch/install/usr/share/redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/NCDeviceList.py", line 210, in getDeviceList File "/usr/src/build/226257-noarch/install/usr/share/redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/NCDeviceList.py", line 117, in load File "/usr/src/build/226257-noarch/install/usr/share/redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/plugins/NCDevWireless.py", line 34, in load File "/usr/src/build/226257-noarch/install/usr/share/redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/NCWireless.py", line 52, in load File "/usr/src/build/228093-i386/install/usr/lib/python2.2/sre.py", line 137, in search return _compile(pattern, flags).search(string) TypeError: expected string or buffer Local variables in innermost frame: pattern: ^s: flags: 0 string: None --- END BACKTRACE OUTPUT --- Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.2 How reproducible: Unable to test, this is my only RH machine.
