Created attachment 346582 [details] Screenshot Description of problem: During a DVD install, when activating a network-based yum repository a network dialog appears. The dialog has a drop-down list to select which NIC I want to use to activate the network. I might be wrong here, but I'm not sure what the strong format of the labels in the drop-down box are supposed to be. Currently it shows: eth0 - Networking interface eth1 - Networking interface I don't know if that's expected, or if we are expecting the similar information presented when activating the network in text-mode, which is: eth0 - 54:52:00:2f:fd:b2 eth1 - 54:52:00:2f:fd:b3 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.50.0.59 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot DVD 2. Proceed to repo selection 3. Select repo "Fedora 11 - x86_64" 4. Click "Modify Repository" Actual results: See attached screenshot Expected results: A list of NIC and MAC address pairs? Additional info:
This looks to be our fault, in that we didn't change this particular code path when we changed the others to display the device name and MAC address. Here's the fix: diff --git a/iw/netconfig_dialog.py b/iw/netconfig_dialog.py index 3941d3a..52894de 100644 --- a/iw/netconfig_dialog.py +++ b/iw/netconfig_dialog.py @@ -144,10 +144,10 @@ class NetworkConfigurator: for dev in devs: i = store.append(None) - desc = netdevs[dev].get("desc") + hwaddr = netdevs[dev].get("HWADDR") - if desc: - desc = "%s - %s" %(dev, desc) + if hwaddr: + desc = "%s - %s" %(dev, hwaddr,) else: desc = "%s" %(dev,) Patch submitted for review.
