From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: This isnt so much a bug as a design problem. If you activate an interface using redhat-config-network, there is no way to stop it while it is in the process. This leads to problems particularly with modem connections - if the connection attempt goes bad, you have a horrible time stopping and restarting it - the only was I have found is su and kill the ppp processes. This at times leaves the modem uninitialized. I used to use rp3 just because of this problem, but now this is not supported. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.use neat to create a dialup interface. 2.dial a bogus number - 555-5555 3.oops - you can hear the operator talking, but there isnt much you can do about it Expected Results: should add a stop or retry button to the activating interface window.
