           Summary: YaST "Network Card" setup blocks network access and
                    doesn't restore it if aborted
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: Alpha 4plus
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: YaST2
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: casualprogrammer@xxxxxxxxx
         QAContact: jsrain@xxxxxxxxxx


In openSuSE 10.3 alpha 4, when setting up a network card with YaST / Network
Devices / Network Card, network access is interrupted as soon and as long as
the dialogue is active.

As setting up network devices can take some time and accessing the network is
not trivial ( you might want to look up what to set your network devices to, or
other operations are in progress ), this is unacceptable.

It suffices to stop network services on saving the new settings and restarting
them afterwards.

On top, if you abort the setup to regain network access, network access remains
inactive and can only be restored by restarting the network services manually.

This behaviour is not reflected by nm-applet "connection information" it shows
the connection as up and running.
