From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; el-gr; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020513 Description of problem: Problems setting a connection via modem Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Make a connection with modem to an isp 2.then delete the connection and device from config network 3.make a new connection via modem to an isp Actual Results: when i try to connent with the new connection config network things that i use the old one and fails to connect Expected Results: connect Additional info: the problem solved when i mannualy deleted the file /etc/ppp/peers/ppp0 -when i look in to that file i saw that contains the name of my old deleted connection (lets say that was named A) and my actual connection (named B)was not there. So i deleted again my new connection then deleted ppp0 and i make an even newer connection that fiinally worked...
also i noticed that although i deleted all the modem devices from graphic-ui and try to make a new device and connection, the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 keeps the old modem i gave by mistake (/dev/ttyACM0) instead the right one i gave in the new connection (/dev/input/ttyACM0) so nothing worked until i edited by hand the ifcfg-ppp0 and replace the modem selection with the proper one.
the second comment is about my second usb modem
This seems to be broken... Can we really only have one WVDIALSECT per DEVNAME??? $ rpm -qf /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp initscripts-6.67-1 .... PEERCONF=/etc/ppp/peers/${DEVNAME} if [ "${DEBUG}" = "yes" ]; then CHATDBG="-v" fi if [ ! -f ${PEERCONF} ]; then if [ -z "${WVDIALSECT}" ] ; then .... fi logger -s -p daemon.notice -t ifup-ppp \ $"Setting up a new ${PEERCONF} config file" if [ -f /etc/ppp/peers/${DEVICE} ]; then cp -f /etc/ppp/peers/${DEVICE} ${PEERCONF} else touch ${PEERCONF} fi if [ "${WVDIALSECT}" ]; then echo "connect \"/usr/bin/wvdial --remotename ${DEVNAME} --chat '${WVDIALSECT}'\ "" >> ${PEERCONF} else echo "connect \"/usr/sbin/chat ${CHATDBG} -f ${CHATSCRIPT}\"" >> ${PEERCONF} fi fi ...
