Description Forgotten User ZhJd0F0L3x 2005-12-22 15:01:25 UTC

I configured a ISDN interface with YaST, without dial on demand, normal config.
Restarted NetworkManager, he picked up the interface.
Starting the interface seems to only do a "ifup ippp0" which brings up the interface but does not trigger the dial in. For dial in, i needed to become root and do "isdnctrl dial ippp0".

This worked smoother with kinternet / smpppd.

Please retest with NM 0.5.1cvs20060104 (I just checked it into autobuild).

It should better handle ISDN, by performing the proper isdnctrl operations.

Comment 2 Robert Love 2006-01-06 22:17:46 UTC

0.5.1cvs20060106, just checked in, contains more fixes.  ;-)

Comment 3 Robert Love 2006-01-17 19:10:23 UTC

This should be fixed as of 20060106.  The latest is 20060117.

Marking as fixed!

Comment 4 Karsten Keil 2006-01-23 18:00:51 UTC

It does not work with 20060119.

If I enable networkmanager, it detects ippp0 as dialup device, but everything else does not work.
- configure - it starts Modem setup instead of ISDN
- dialin nothing happens, here is no ippp0 after this action (I configured manual setup for ippp0), the only result is, that networkmanager now presents a hangup action

How can I debug this ? ( Robert I'm the ISDN developer, so I can test and debug this, but I do not have any knowledge, how networkmanager work, so I need some hints).
in /var/log/messages I get:
Jan 23 17:57:39 grill2 NetworkManager: <information>    Activating dialup device test kke via ISDN (ippp0) (ippp0) ...
Jan 23 17:57:39 grill2 ifup: Network interface is managed from NetworkManager

Hi, Karsten.

Two problems here.

As for the configuration issue, I will separate out the configuration for modem and ISDN into two different menu itmes.

And the dialing problem is a bug in ifup.  We are tracking this bug in #143729.

Comment 6 Robert Love 2006-01-23 18:38:16 UTC

Alright, checked in to autobuild for you an update with the ISDN configuration menu item.

For the ifup bug, please track in #143729.

I am going to mark this as closed, as it is the original lack-of-ISDN support.
