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 until openSUSE 11.3 final version is superseded or you see fit to restore non-dialup devices to smpppd in the form of a patch.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. Respectfully yours, 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.
