Bugzilla – Bug 148675
Values filled in for Wireless USB device arn't used when device is plugged
Last modified: 2008-06-25 09:53:32 UTC
I filled in all the values for my ZD1201 wireless USB chipset and they are saved via YaST. When plugging the device it doesn't use the settings that are filled in. I gave it a fixed IP address and set it in ad-hoc more with no encryption. When it plug the device in it is being set in a managed mode with no IP address.
It looks like the filled in values arn't used from the /etc/sysconfig/network directory
Please attach the YaST logfiles as well as the resulting network configuration files from /etc/sysconfig. Also give more information about the used device using `hwinfo --...'.

If I know what you want I'm glad to give it.
Always attach the whole directory /var/log/YaST2 as tarball. The required information might be spreaded throughout these files.

Created attachment 67133 [details] Yast Directory with Logs Language setting was dutch
Jacques: Please also attach the files in /etc/sysconfig/network/, thanks.
Created attachment 67228 [details] network files The files from /etc/sysconfig/network
Reassigning to the new maintainer of yast2-network.
later
mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy)
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 ;(
