Description Ewin Barnett 2011-07-07 21:29:13 UTC
Description of problem:

When the Live i686 version of F15 was installed on a Dell Inspiron 8600 with the built-in ethernet adapter, it was assigned the device name of 'em1'.  When I ran the GUI tool to set up the firewall, the 1st ethernet device on the list was of the 'eth' group.  No 'em' group devices were listed.  When 'em1' is added to network device list and selected, the firewall works correctly.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Live Fedora 15 with all current YUM updates applied.

How reproducible:
Open firewall GUI tool, look at device list.  

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:
Device list should also include types of devices actually installed on system.

Additional info:
While someone has this tool opened up to fix this minor issue, please add a 'Both' entry to to the port selection popup.  When setting up port forwarding, when the forwarded port must handle both TCP and UDP, each must be entered separately.  It would be great to have a 'Both' selection as well.

Reassigning to system-config-firewall.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 19:09:52 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
