Description Philip Unger 2002-02-19 04:16:41 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2.1) Gecko/20010901

Description of problem:
I was attempting to set up ppp and used internet-druid. Checking over results
with rp3-config, it crashes with a segmentation fault on modems page after
pressing button to edit modem properties. I can edit modem just fine using
/usr/sbin/neat. Also, I cannot figure out how to  have my single modem marked as
default in rp3-config. At various points after some manual editing, editing did
work, and even showed the modem as default. I don't know how I got there or how
to get back to that point. As best I can remember, I got the segmentation fault
on my first configuration attempt directly after using internet-druid for the
very first time. This is an external modem on /dev/tty1.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use internet-druid to set up a ppp connection.
2.Open rp3-config and go to modems page.
3.Select the modem and press "Edit" button.
	

Actual Results:  Segmentation fault

Expected Results:  No fault

Additional info:

At various points, in trying to set up a ppp connection to my ISP, I manually
edited some of the files in:

/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/

Currently, I have ppp set up and working using rp3, however, rp3-config crashes
as described, and the single modem does not show as being the default modem.
