Bug opened 2002-08-26. Why is this still in a NEW state?
It's in a new state because it didn't got noticed in the change of maintainership for that module ... I can't reproduce this with 2.0.8, I have no dialup line available and when using a network card with DHCP cliking in the interval where the card is inserted but haven't yet received the IP address the behaviour is the same as usual, i.e. the "available package" window opens... Can you reproduce the problem with 2.0.8 ? Daniel
I no longer have dialup. The behavior was simply that the applet would not check every so often that it got the connection back.
I suspect this is bret's bug now. Reassigning.
CLOSING due to inactivity. Someone will gripe if need be.
