Description of problem: If you have a dummy network interface configured, then open office outputs: SIOCGIFADDR got '00:00:00:00:00:00' multiple times while it runs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice-1.0.2-2 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ifconfig dummy0 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.255 up 2. oowriter & [from commandline so you can see its output] Actual results: The above message is issued from time to time. Expected results: It shouldn't complain about this. It should just silently ignore it. Additional info: Setting an explicit hardware address, as in: ip link set dummy0 address 00:00:00:00:00:01 prevents this output.
OOo needs to know certain things about the network for a variety of functions... I think we're stuck with this for the time being...
