I have a wireless PCMCIA device that is configured to use the wvlan_cs driver. I configured it manually using the netconfig cli command "netconfig --device=eth1 --bootproto=dhcp"... I then try to run neat... stderr reports : Warning : Device eth1 has been compiled with version 14 of Wireless Extension, while we are using version 12. Some things may be broken... after a slew of libglade warnings... graphically, I am presented with : Component: redhat-config-network Version: 1.1.86 Summary: TB /usr/sbin/../share/redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/NCHardwareFactory.py:42:getHardwareClass: KeyError: Wireless Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/neat", line 98, in ? window = mainDialog() File "/usr/sbin/../share/redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/gui/maindialog.py", line 154, in __init__ self.load() File "/usr/sbin/../share/redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/gui/maindialog.py", line 227, in load self.loadHardware() File "/usr/sbin/../share/redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/gui/maindialog.py", line 238, in loadHardware hardwarelist = getHardwareList() File "/usr/sbin/../share/redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/NCHardwareList.py", line 389, in getHardwareList HWList.load() File "/usr/sbin/../share/redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/NCHardwareList.py", line 220, in load self.updateFromSystem() File "/usr/sbin/../share/redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/NCHardwareList.py", line 167, in updateFromSystem i = self.addHardware(getDeviceType(device)) File "/usr/sbin/../share/redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/NCHardwareList.py", line 134, in addHardware hwc = hwf.getHardwareClass(type) File "/usr/sbin/../share/redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/NCHardwareFactory.py", line 42, in getHardwareClass return self[type][0] KeyError: Wireless
should be fixed with 1.1.90 (second public beta)
I submitted this bug for Phoebe 1... in Phoebe 3 at least it was fixed... Unless the bug has resurfaced for RH9 (I wouldn't know; I'm not running it yet) this bug should probably be closed... -jag
