From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011012 Description of problem: After dialing and connecting with rp3, the interface only gives a "connect" option instead the "diconnect" one. The problem seems to occur after after connecting/disconnecting once and connecting again without restarting the interface. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start rp3 and connect. 2.Disconnect. Do not close down rp3. 3.Reconnect. Actual Results: The connection time remains at 0. Hovering over the connect/disconnect button gives the tooltip "connect". Pressing the button brings up a dialog box asking to "start the interface", and answering "yes" results in an error stating that the interface could not be started. Expected Results: The connection time counter would progress; the tooltip would have shown "disconnect"; the dialog box from pressing the button would have asked to "stop the interface"; and answering "yes" would have shut it down. Additional info: The problem seems to only occur when I reconnect, stop paying attention to the dialer, and come back later to disconnect. I could not reproduce it while writing this report. The only way I know of to disconnect when the problem arises is to become root and kill the "pppd -detach" process.
