Description of problem: I use neat to configure ISDN-connection to my ISP. This seems to work, but when I try to activate the connection it fails. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-network-1.1.90-1 How reproducible: All the time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure isdn-card and connection with 'neat'. 2. Try to activate the connection 3. Actual results: Error message about 'cannot activate device isdn0' (first time), if I try again I get no error message from 'neat', but 'Jan 20 12:45:24 opuntia kernel: isdn_ppp_bind: Can't find a (free) connection to the ipppd daemon' in /var/log/messages. In both cases no connection to ISP. Expected results: Additional info: At boot setting up isdn0 fails.

which isdn card do you have? Is it supported from neat? Could you please send to me following files: - /etc/sysconfig/isdncard - /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ipppX Thanks
It has been supported in earlier versions. It is possible to get it work "the old way", with scripts and so on. I usually don't use isdn, I have ADSL. I still have my old ISDN-card: Teles 16.3C PnP with HFC-chip. Everything in /var/log/messages looks OK until dial. /etc/sysconfig/isdncard: NAME="Teles 16.3c PnP" MODULE="hisax" VENDOR_ID="TAG2610" DEVICE_ID="TAG2610" RESOURCES="protocol=2 type=14 irq=3 id=HiSax io=0x580" /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-isdn0 (Yes, that is the device you use now! Not ippp0.): # Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt # for the documentation of these parameters.

Harald: redhat-config-network added wrong isdn device in config file. The device should be ippp by ENCAP=syncppp. and isdn by ENCAP=rawip it's a bug in redhat-config-network. moving it to redhat-config-network
The problem is still here in beta5: No possibility to use ISDN with neat.
The problem is still here in Shrike (Red Hat 9): No possibility to use ISDN with neat.
Same problem with Cambridge (Red Hat 9.0.90) Alpha1. neat uses device isdn0 and not ippp0. This just doesn't work. Neat/ISDN has been working fine with earlier versions of Red Hat.
It looks like ippp0 is used now, but when I try to activate the interface, I get a traceback. Maybe this should be filed as a separate bug, but I really don't know what causes what here...
Created attachment 92095 [details] Traceback when trying to activate ISDN-card with neat. Red Hat beta (alfa2) Cambridge 9.0.91.
The problem with wrong device seems to be corrected in Severn. I still can't get "neat" to work properly with isdn (it is not dialing), but I suppose this is a different problem, bug #100677
