From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.0 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020311 Description of problem: When configuring a dial up connection, the setup tool does not write the appropriate entry in /etc/wvdial.conf, it just does not write anything into that file; I have then written by hand in that file the same entry I'm using on RH 7.2, and then all has gone right, apart from a kernel panic when establishing the connection (kernel unable to handle a paging request... finally, either it freezes ot it reboots by its own). I have solved the kernel panic downgrading the kernel with a 2.4.17 based kernel, based on a package taken from an old rawhide; anyway, this kernel panic does not seem to be so much repeatable, as the same kernel works correctly on RH 7.2 and on RH 7.2.92 for two friends of mine... a processor-related issue? (I'm using an Athlon XP 1700) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.try to configure a dial up connection 2.try to close the setup tool and edit it... the provided parameters are missing 3.look into /etc/wvdial.conf... no new entry :( Additional info:
Can you try the version at http://people.redhat.com/teg/ ?
should be fixed in 0.9.23
Sorry, I haven't found any redhat-config-network package at http://people.redhat.com/teg/ Where can I find version 0.9.23 ? I have tried with version 0.9.21 of rawhide, but the problem is still not fixed in that version. Some more details: the provider name is not lost (even though is not written in /etc/wvdial.conf), but username, password, and phone number get lost and the corresponding entry is not written in /etc/wvdial.conf
coming soon...
OK, still seeing some oddities. Doesn't look like the phone number is getting written to the /etc/wvdial.conf file (isn't this where it is supposed to be?) In addition, when running neat again and editting the ppp setup, the username/password isn't read back into. Will try to confirm where all of the information is supposed to land.
solved in >= 0.9.23
i get: [Dialer acn] Phone = 0192666500 Password = internet Username = acn Stupid Mode = 1 Inherits = Modem0
Is this stil a problem with version 0.9.24 at http://people.redhat.com/teg/neat/ ?
Now it seems to be fixed, I will try at home where my connection is just via a modem, now I have only tried without having a modem, on a computer connected to Internet through an ethernet card.
It's fixed now in 0.9.24. It works for me.
