[openFATE 309160] checkbox to enable IPX protocol
Feature changed by: Federico Lucifredi (flucifredi) Feature #309160, revision 6 Title: checkbox to enable IPX protocol openSUSE-11.3: Evaluation Priority Requester: Desirable Info Provider: (Novell) Requested by: Michal Zugec (mzugec) Developer: (Novell) Description: Please along the "Enable IPv6" checkbox add another checkbox to enable IPX. See bugzilla enhancement: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=586119 Discussion: #1: Ilya Chernykh (ansus) (2010-03-10 12:44:36) The IPX protocol is enabled on interface eth0, for example, by the following command: ipx_interface add eth0 EtherII This should be binded to the checkbox. #2: Michal Zugec (mzugec) (2010-03-10 13:56:54) This should be implemented in sysconfig first. Marius, what's your comment? #3: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2010-03-10 15:13:33) My question here is whether IPX is popular enough that it makes sense to enable it in the GUI. + #4: Federico Lucifredi (flucifredi) (2010-03-10 21:02:38) (reply to + #3) + I agree with you. IPX exposes us to charges of "Novellization" by people + with nothing better to do (politics) and the simple fact is that IPv6 I + can see as handy (for some) but PIX is an even smaller audience... we + did simplify the installer to make things simpler on the + user (usability), adding options back in(especially like this one) is + not the way to go. + So, given the usability factor and the political vibe this feature + would give, I am inclined to reject. an IPX user is fully qualified to + turn this on post-install. + Any comments on this analysis before i (R) ? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309160
