------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-07 01:57 ------- This has changed in today's cooker, but the result is still inconsistent. The Summary panel still shows Network to be configured as "lan", even though the "configuration" was done under the covers and didn't work --- it should show as "not configured". However, when I click on that entry, the network dialog no longer has the warning about the interface already being configured (this is correct). If I pursue the configuration dialog, and select autodetect, I still get a display of device options that does not have lan (ethernet) selected even though the line entry for the selection reads "LAN connection - ethernet card(s) detected". That selection should be selected. For that matter, I also have a modem in the machine, and even though the first selection reads "Normal modem connection - detected on ttyS0", that selection isn't selected either. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Today's cooker seems to be deciding that it needs the network before it's been configured from the Network tab of the Summary page. It assumes DHCP, and installs dhcpcd-client, and then appears to hang. The hang is because it is timing out looking for a DHCP server, and there is none. The hang eventually times out, but when I actually get the Summary dialog and go to configure the network, it tells me that the network was already configured and I can leave it as is. It doesn't seem to realize that it never managed to connect with DHCP, and it shouldn't be trying it anyway.
