yast2 lan: Skip refresh of packagelist if network is not available
Last modified: 2007-11-21 16:39:38 UTC
Ok, I suspended my laptop (eth0 up), moved to another place and wanted to configure WLAN. I started yast2 lan and what does it do? Package information being read ... Refreshing SUSE LINUX Version 10.0 (http://ftp.gwdg.de//pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS-beta2/inst-source/) (Wait quite a while until it times out and click SKIP) Refreshing SUSE LINUX Version 10.0 (http://ftp.gwdg.de//pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS-beta2/inst-source-java/) (Wait quite a while until it times out and click SKIP) EXPECTED: Especially if I want to configure the network, one should be able to skip quickly the package refresh. If one has a long list of YAM/YAST sources it otherwise is quite enervating!
I'll check what interface I use. It may be a general package manager issue.
I use Package::InstallKernel. Please attach y2logs: http://opensuse.org/index.php/Bug_Reporting_FAQ#YaST
Reassigning to the new maintainer of yast2-network.
move to later
This is not priority of YaST. For fast WLAN network switch is here NetworkManager
