Description Volker Kuhlmann 2005-09-14 05:29:55 UTC 
The most annoying thing with configuring a dialup modem in yast is that each 
time I try out a different modem, which happens quite a lot with those 
losemodems, I have to re-enter all the ISP details. 
 
When I find the first modem doesn't work, I plug in another one for testing. 
However, I can't attach the previously configured provider to this modem. If I 
delete the first modem configuration first, the configured provider becomes 
orphaned. In any case I have to create another provider config. It's been like 
this since, uhm, 8.0? Grumble. Both smppd and kinternet can handle any number 
of modems and providers. There is actually nothing speaking against having say 
two modems and one provider configured, as long as the user doesn't activate 
them both at once.

Sounds plausible, will not make it into the 10.0 final though.
Assigned.
Comment 2 Michael Gross 2005-09-14 08:56:08 UTC 
should have assigned it first...
Comment 3 Michael Gross 2005-09-14 08:57:17 UTC 
now closing with resolution: later
Comment 4 Martin Vidner 2006-08-28 11:34:23 UTC 
Reassigning to the new maintainer of yast2-network.

mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy)

Comment 8 Stephan Kulow 2008-06-25 09:52:46 UTC 
Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED.

In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
