Run Network Configuration Actual Results: The exception window with the text above. Expected Results: normal program start Additional info:
HWADDR="00:50:04:71:8D:89" would be the correct entry... Did you name your config file ifcfg-eth0:MACADDR ??
2 harald@redhat.com : Offcause no!
fixed in CVS
Please try the public beta - upgrade from Rawhide if necesarry. 1.1.10 has the fix, wthough it was added somewhat earlier.
first beta of erratum is available at: ftp://people.redhat.com/harald/redhat-config-network/1.0.1-1/ Most of the bugs reported have been removed, but as in every software change, there could be new bugs introduced. Please report bugs against this with explicitly stating the 1.0.1 version... Thx and please test.
