Description of problem: To configure a DSL connection system-config-network cannot be used. It opens consolehelper tool with empty device list. After some time i discovered nm-connection-editor is the program to configure DSL. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): version shipped with Fedora 17 release package. How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. ls -l /usr/bin/system-config-network 2. result: "/usr/bin/system-config-network -> consolehelper" 3. >system-config-network, opens a console utility with empty device list. Actual results: running system-config-network opens consolehelper utility. Expected results: running system-config-network should open nm-connection-editor utility. Additional info: Fresh Fedora 17 installation from DVD iso.
AFAIK the GUI (install system-config-network package, not just system-config-network-tui) should be able to configure DSL. You are right that nm-connection-editor is its successor and that's the reason why we've deprecated system-config-network in rawhide (Fedora-18). Closing as WONTFIX, thanks for your idea anyway.
