http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=590742 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=590742#c0 Summary: YaST gives invalid instructions for installing FRITZ!Card DSL Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: tilman@imap.cc QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; de; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100205 SeaMonkey/2.0.3 Installing openSUSE 11.2 on a standard PC with a FRITZ!Card DSL combined ISDN/DSL PCI card. (German language; quotes in this report translated to English by me.) YaST's "networking devices - ISDN low level configuration" section correctly detects the card as: Manufacturer AVM Computersysteme Vertriebs GmbH ISDN Card Fritz!Card DSL and in the "Driver" dropdown list offers a single choice: CAPI 2.0 driver CAPI with FAX G3 and DSL without source code (The dropdown list field is greyed out so the setting cannot be changed.) After clicking the OK button, a warning message window pops up stating: "You have selected a driver without source code. This driver is not part of our distribution. You can use this driver only after the installation of further software packages from AVM. Proceed according to the release notes and read the additional notices on the following web page: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:AVM_binary_driver_for_SUSE_Linux_10.1" These instructions are invalid: 1.) The openSUSE 11.2 release notes contain none of the keywords "AVM", "Fritz", or "driver". 2.) The URL http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:AVM_binary_driver_for_SUSE_Linux_10.1 leads to a web page containing information for *some* AVM cards, but the FRITZ!Card DSL is not one of them. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install openSUSE 11.2 on a PC equipped with a FRITZ!Card DSL PCI card. 2. In hardware configuration, ISDN section configure the listed "unconfigured" device. 3. Click OK. Actual Results: A message appears promising I'll be able to use the card if I follow the instructions given, but the instructions turn out to be impossible to follow. Expected Results: Either instructions that can be followed, or a message stating that the device cannot be used with openSUSE 11.2. After dismissing the warning message quoted above, YaST proceeds to install a bunch of "required packages": capi4linux, i4l-base, i4l-isdnlog and kinternet. If the card is actually not supported, it would be preferable to skip that step, as those packages are of no use without a supported ISDN card. -- 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.
