http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=628138 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=628138#c2 --- Comment #2 from Christos Gourdoupis 2010-08-05 21:29:39 UTC --- I hate seeing good functionality in linux being dropped, and it happens a lot lately. I don't understand why it is a hack, but I'll take your word for it. All I need is a mere ifup/ifdown capability. What's the point of configuring interfaces as user controllable in Yast, if you don't have an easy way of using the feature? ssh and ifup <interface> via the console is not for every day. In the meanwhile I am trying to build the package with --enable-wireless in the OBS and it fails: smpppd-smpppd.o: In function `do_restate()': smpppd.cc:461: undefined reference to `Outsider::read_state()' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

As a result of this Novell/openSUSE agenda divergance, it is inevitable that a lot of cumulative user time will be wasted on this problem (see hyperlink http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-help-here/network-internet/443568-qin...) until openSUSE 11.3 final version is superseded or you see fit to restore non-dialup devices to smpppd in the form of a patch. Whilst I have a degree of sympathy with your argument, I suggest that it would be more reasonable to drop non-dialup device support from smpppd in the NEXT version of openSUSE and remove the Yast2/Network Settings/Overview tab/Edit/General tab, "Enable Device Control for Non-root User Via Qinternet" option at the same time. Obviously most people caught out so far will probably have migrated to Network Manager already. Speaking for myself, I miss the handy network traffic indicator on the bottom panel.

Wireless support will remain broken. I have no hidden agenda here. It is simply that such clarification may be of value to prospective wireless networkers running openSUSE 11.3. Once again many thanks, Terry. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
