Description of problem: If a network alias is defined in a file in /etc/modprobe.d/filename, it is not picked up by system-config-network and offered to be configured. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.3.30-2.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create file /etc/modprobe.d/madwifi containing "alias ath0 ath_pci" 2. Try running system-config-network to configure card - not accessible 3. Move alias to /etc/modprobe.conf 4. system-config-network now able to configure wireless adapter Additional info: This is the case when the madwifi package is initially installed from livna.org which "correctly" creates a file /etc/modprobe.d/madwifi to support the modules. The modules are loaded by the kernel and the card can be configured by hand, but not through the system-config-network tool. Move the lines that were in /etc/modprobe.d/madwifi into /etc/modprobe.conf and system-config-network now can configure the card.
Concur with this bug post. Following work-around, ath0 works correctly. However, NetworkManager seems not to be compatible with it. That should perhaps be a separate bug report?
I experience this bug as well.
