Description of problem: When the kernel bridge module is not loaded the ncftool fails to run. Tool runs after 'modprobe bridge'. Guests will not normally have bridge module loaded, but I would expect ncftool to simply drop bridge support and continue to run in the case where kernel bridging is not available. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Linux f12-beta 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Nov 7 21:11:14 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux netcf-0.1.4-1.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. install f12 guest 2. yum install netcf 3. ncftool Actual results: [root@f12-beta ~]# ncftool Failed to initialize netcf error: File operation failed error: can not open /proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-iptables: No such file or directory Expected results: [root@f12-beta ~]# modprobe bridge [root@f12-beta ~]# ncftool ncftool> quit Additional info:
The problem described in this bug was resovled in netcf-0.1.5, but the bz was not updated.
