From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Description of problem: If I got this right ISDN under linux always uses an ipppx interface to connect to the internet (default: ippp0). Due to the fact that RedHat linux installs an isdn card as device "isdn0" it needs to be bound to ippp0. This is done by the command isdnctrl pppbind isdn0 But sadly this won't work for me (and I don't know why). As a workaround I renamed ifcfg-isdn0 to ifcfg-ippp0 and changed the DEVICE variable to 'ippp0'. Now everything works fine but I'm not really happy with this solution. Why not just call those interfaces ippp0? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use Configuration Wizard or install isdn card and device manually. The device will be named 'isdn0'. 2. Try to activate the device through System Settings -> Network 3. You'll get an error message like "Can't find (free) connection[...]" or something like that (didn't write the message down).
I searched american an german newsgroups on this topic and only found one posting with the same problem. The user with the same problem uses the same release: the RedHat 9.A which comes with the german version of the RedHat Magazine. Maybe it's only a bug in this release? Will it be fixed in the next german RedHat Magazine (september)? Lars
it's a known bug and already fixed in redhat-config-network-1.2.15-1, which was released as errata.
