From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011031 Description of problem: I noticed in the redhat-config-network help section that using /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles is not yet implemented. I just wanted to add my comments for this component. I would like to have the ability to create and switch profiles using redhat-config-network, as well as switching using a command line--something like: service network restart home where home is one of the profiles that I had already setup. Another enhancement along a similar line is some sort of network probing, so that when I go from my desk to a conference room on a different subnet (both using DHCP), it will automatically sense that I am on a different subnet, and it will restart the network for me. One other thing pertaining to the network, is there any way to make the network timeout shorter? That way it won't wait for several minutes to timeout if the computer is off the network. Once autosensing of the network works, it would be nice to have a very short timeout for the network at boot time, and then it will start the network as soon as it senses that the network is attached. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start the network 2. 3. Additional info:
Try running with "-p" :) - more is in the works, though, including probing, of some sort
Is there anything that I can do to help?
We'd need testing later, but not yet.
