Description of problem: I tried to set up My ISDN-card with neat. I have Teles 16.3c PnP card (isapnp). I got no option to choose IRQ and IO. Still - I configured my card and connection to ISP, but was not able to activate the card: /sbin/ifup: konfigurasjon for ippp0 ikke funnet. Bruk: ifup <enhetsnavn> (configuration for ippp0 not found). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-network-1.3.6-1 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure ISDN-card 2. Configure connection to ISP - and save. 3. Try to activate the connection Actual results: Error message: /sbin/ifup: konfigurasjon for ippp0 ikke funnet. Bruk: ifup <enhetsnavn> Expected results: Additional info:
Please attach your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*
and please attach your /etc/sysconfig/isdncard

Created attachment 94872 [details] /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ippp0 - I renamed this from ifcfg-OnlineTrafikk (name of my "connection")

So, it works once it was renamed, yes? Were you invoking 'ifup ippp0' by hand, or was something else invoking it?
After I renamed ifcfg-OnlineTrafikk ti ifcfg-ippp0 I used "neat" to activate, but disconnecting did not work. I think bugzilla has some problems. Something is wrong here! Earlier info is missing from this bug: ------- Additional Comments From harald 2003-09-30 07:28 ------- try and give your dialup account the nickname ippp0 ------- Additional Comments From haarbye 2003-09-30 17:04 ------- Yes, it works if I rename to ifcfg-ippp0 (but I get some trouble with disconnecting, sort of same problem I think: Cant deactivate, use: ifdown <enhetsnavn>. Disconnects OK with /sbin/hangup ippp0).
If neat activation fails with the config that neat wrote, that's a neat bug, not initscripts. However, you're saying with it renamed to ippp0, that startup works, but shutdown fails? 'ifdown ippp0' fails to find the config?
it seems that initscripts does not work if the nickname is not the same device!
Hm, the regular ppp stuff works now, the ippp stuff might need tweaked.
You asked: "However, you're saying with it renamed to ippp0, that startup works, but shutdown fails? 'ifdown ippp0' fails to find the config?" I renamed ifcfg-OnlineTrafikk to ifcfg-ippp0 - and now I can activate ISDN with neat. I still can't deactivate ISDN with neat, I get the message "Can't deactivate OnlineTrafikk" - "use: ifdown <enhetsnavn>". ifdown ippp0 (or isdnctrl hangup ippp0) works.. I think neat tries to do a "ifup ippp0" when I activate the connection and "ifdown OnlineTrafikk" when I deactivate (And when I renamed ifcfg-OnlineTrafikk to ifcfg-ippp0 neat will not find ifcfg-OnlineTrafikk). If I copy ifcfg-OnlineTrafikk to ifcfg-ippp0 (instead of rename) neat can activate and deactivate the ISDN-connection (but I didn't get back my default gateway to eth0).
OK, assigning to redhat-config-network for at least the last problem you've mentioned. Do ifup <config name> and ifdown <config name> work in both cases (the config named Online-Trafikk or the config named ippp0)?
Yes ifup/ifdown ippp0 works and ifup/ifdown OnlineTrafikk works. (the configfiles are exact the same...) but "isdnctrl OnlineTrafikk" will not work: root@opuntia root]# ifup ippp0 [root@opuntia root]# isdnctrl dial ippp0 Dialing of ippp0 triggered [root@opuntia root]# ifdown ippp0 [root@opuntia root]# ifup OnlineTrafikk [root@opuntia root]# isdnctrl dial OnlineTrafikk Interface name must not exceed 8 characters! [root@opuntia root]# ifdown OnlineTrafikk [root@opuntia root]#

i have added support of Nickname for ISDN in initscript and redhat-config-network. It should fix this problem. Notice: If you use nickname like ifcfg-OnlineTrafikk, you have to start your ISDN connection with: ifup OnlineTrafikk isdnctrl dial ippp0 It's easier if you start it from redhat-config-network. initscript-7.39-1 and redhat-config-network-1.3.7-2 has this fix. Many thanks for your report.
I don't use theese "nicknames", I use "neat" if it is working. Sadly, it is a very long time since "neat" has done its job with isdn. (bug #82241 #85365 #100677 and this bug). Actually I have used ADSL the last couple of years, I only use isdn for test purposes. In my country it is still many users with isdn-connection, so this is why I put me through this pain. "neat" is still not working with Fedora Core 0.95 (exception occured). After upgrading to initscripts-7.41-1 and redhat-config-network-1.3.8-1 from rawhide, no exception errors occurred, but activating the connection is not working. Just nothing happens. I hope that Fedora Core (as Red Hat 9.0) will not be released with broken neat/ISDN.
I assume you still have old isdn4k-utils on your machine. Please upgrade to isdn4k-utils-3.2-5.p1, which should be available in rawhide. It will fix this problem. I have tested it here and it works fine.
