Description of problem: The redhat-config-network GUI (under X if it matters) cannot configure a wireless network device with fixed IP addresses. I want to use fixed IP addresses, because my wireless router is not that intelligent, and will reassign the IP address if I don't use it every so often, and I want to be able to communicate between two wireless hosts via ssh in the same network. I can add the fixed IP addresses via vi/emacs, so the support does work, but it would be nice if the GUI actually gave me the ability to do it without resorting to editing the config files by hand. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Redhat version 9, redhat-config-network version 1.2.0-2. How reproducible: It is reproducable all of the time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run redhat-config-network 2. Add a wireless device 3. There is no screen for whether to use dhcp, and if not, what is the fixed IP address, etc. Actual results: Only dhcp wireless networks are allowed. Expected results: I want the ability to configure wireless networks with static IP addresses. Additional info:
please try the 1.2.6 bugfix release from http://people.redhat.com/harald/redhat-config-network/
This does fix the problem, thanks.
