Bugzilla – Bug 140756
NetworkManager does not correctly handle ISDN interfaces.
Last modified: 2006-01-23 18:38:16 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.
0.5.1cvs20060106, just checked in, contains more fixes. ;-)
This should be fixed as of 20060106. The latest is 20060117. Marking as fixed!
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 Jan 23 17:57:39 grill2 ifup: NetworkManager will be advised to set up ippp0 Jan 23 17:57:39 grill2 ifup: but it cannot be assured from here.

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.
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.
