Description of Problem: My ISP disconnects me every two hours. I cannot get rp3-conf to automatically redial if the ppp (over modem) interface dies. If I click on "restart if connection dies" checkbox, save the changes and then close rp3-conf, if I connect to the ISP and am disconnected, I will not be automatically reconnected as expected. Restarting rp3-conf will reveal that the "restart if connection dies" checkbox will be unchecked. So I have to redial manually every time. How Reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. open rp3-conf, create a new connection, click on advanced 2. click on "restart if connection dies", apply changes close, exit program 3. restart rp3-conf, go to advanced, see that "restart if connection dies" is un-checked Actual Results: does not redial, "restart if connection dies" preference not saved. Expected Results: automatic redialling, "restart if connection dies" should be saved. Additional Information: Didn't happen under redhat 7.0 or 6.2. Happens on two boxes using rh 7.1 Downgrading to redhat 7.0's rp3 did not help.
