However, it's not so easy and definitely it's not a Major bug rather an Enhancement. YaST Network could ask user whether they want to configure network manually only in case: * There are some network devices (with link connected, or it is a WiFi) * There is no DHCP offered (/usr/sbin/dhcpcd-test has to be installed) * NetworkManager is NOT installed (if there is a WiFi) As you can see, it's not trivial to find out a user uses static configuration. Moreover, it's not easy to guess what a user really wants without asking them, there are several options how to solve this: * Detect the issue even before the installation is started and ask user in installation proposal. * Detect the issue adjust the second stage accordingly (add non-automatic network-proposal run) -- quite uneasy to do. * Detect the issue and propose to use manual (not automatic) configuration. We currently support just switching to the non automatic configuration. -- 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.
