Description of problem: I tried to add some comments about a re- opened bug concerning Orinocco wireless cards, including a workaround. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Current RedHat bugzilla, version 2.8? Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select re-opened bug 62218 2. Add comments Actual results: This useless error message: You tried to change the component field from AfterStep-APPS to wireless-tools, but only the owner or submitter of the bug, or a sufficiently empowered user, may change that field. Expected results: Adding the comment successfully. Additional info: The workaround I wanted to submit for it is here: The RedHat init and ifconfig scripts run iwconfig directly, not out of the /etc/pcmcia. But they run them in the network init script which runs before the pcmcia init script, so the PCMCIA device isn't ready yet for the iwconfig commands. Edit your /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia init script to run *before* the network init script, and run "chkconfig --del pcmcia; chkconfig pcmcia on" and add your SSID and KEY to /etc/sysconfig/network where the RedHat network init script tries to find them. Then reboot the machine and check your logs.
I am closing this bug report as there has not been any activity on this for a while and there has been various changes made to bugzilla in the meantime. If the issue still exists, kindly reopen it. Thank you.
