Description Barry K. Nathan 2003-06-23 07:24:10 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030619

Description of problem:
redhat-config-network detects my modem at "/dev/eth". It's actually at /dev/ttyS1.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-7.24-2.92
redhat-config-network-1.3.0-1

How reproducible:
Haven't tried. (Although, the pathname "/dev/eth" is giving me a strange sense
of deja vu; I'm wondering if I experienced this in the past and then forgot
about it.)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start redhat-config-network, with no PPP connections configured (and no modem
configured either, *I think*).
2. Let it autodetect the modem.
3. See what r-c-n detected as the device name for the modem...

Actual Results:  /dev/eth

Expected Results:  /dev/ttyS1

Additional info:
[root@i5000e root]# ls -l /dev/eth*
ls: /dev/eth*: No such file or directory

I'm using a D-Link combo Ethernet/modem card. There is also one serial port
inside this laptop (Dell Inspiron 5000e), but no built-in Ethernet or modem.

could you please give me the output of 
$ /usr/sbin/kudzu -p -c MODEM
??


Comment 2 Barry K. Nathan 2003-06-29 05:42:56 UTC
Created attachment 92673 [details]
output of /usr/sbin/kudzu -p -c MODEM

Note that kudzu on my system is now 1.1.8-1. It was something older when I
experienced this bug. I would see if I can reproduce this bug, except that bug
98251 is getting in the way right now...
