From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: The modem line in the wvdial.conf file generated by redhat-config-network- 0.7.3-1 for my particular setup is: 'Modem = ttyS4'. The syntax is clearly wrong, and consequently wvdial complains about not being able to open device 'ttyS4'. After adding the '/dev' prefix to the device descriptor yielding 'Modem = /dev/ttyS4', everything works as expected. By the way, with the introduction of 'redhat-config-network' there is no generic user dialer anymore, and one has to login as root to dial in via wvdial (?). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.7.3-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type wvdial <isp-name> Actual Results: wvdial complains that it cannot open device 'ttyS4' Expected Results: wvdial dials in Additional info: none
It's fixed in redhat-config-network-0.7.8-1. You will find it in next rawhide release.
