Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 2 Radek Vykydal 2017-04-20 08:11:05 UTC 
Changes in bug 1394579 are causing regressions in Anaconda which has been assuming one conection per device (the matched ifcfg connection vs additionally generated in-memory connection).

Thank you,

we could also set some NM configuration in installer to run in something like the former behavior mode, but perhaps you want to fix it without special casing (ie based just on existence of NM state file?).

Comment 8 Radek Vykydal 2017-04-28 08:29:27 UTC 
Will this update go to F26 as well? I am not sure if the new build for f26 has it and when it will hit the compose.

In Fedora we have two related bugs (bug 1439388, bug 1439051 - most probably having the same cause). The traceback itself should be fixed by anaconda patch, but we would be probably seeing issues similar to those we've been seeing in RHEL 7 without applying this NM change in Fedora.

Yes. Fedora 26 now has 1.8.0, which has this fix as well. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-d285a0c72f
