Description Andreas Kleen 2005-06-24 22:27:59 UTC
I tried to add a static route using yast2 to an ethernet interface.

Problems:

- It listed the interface list claiming it was optional. But there was no
"none" or "any" entry so it was impossible to declare a route without
interface for a gateway. 

- The interface list lists MAC addresses, which is very user unfriendly.
It should list the verbose names of the interfaces ("FooNIC 1 etc.")

No y2logs, but should be easy to reproduce using the description.

Yes, both are good points.  
You can just delete the interface string to make a route without an interface.  
  
In addition, when editing such a route, an arbitrary interface is wrongly  
selected in the dialog.

Reassigning to the new co-maintainer of yast2-network.

What is status here? 
Comment 6 Katarina Machalkova 2007-11-28 09:01:33 UTC
Point b) is not valid any more - short device names (eth1, wlan0,...) are being used in 10.3 instead of beasts such as eth-id-00-00-de-ad-be-ef 

Point a) and comment #2 are both valid and trivial to fix. I'll do the fix for Stable
Comment 7 Katarina Machalkova 2008-01-07 15:00:12 UTC
Fixed in yast2-network 2.16.18
