Some of the interfaces (wlan card?) has probably USERCONTROL bit set to true (to verify, run 'yast2 lan' -> pick interface -> Edit -> General tab -> Device control, or view /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-$interface file). If this is not the case, smpppd will not be required. If it is still required even after removing USERCONTROL bit from the affected interface, please reproduce the bug and attach YaST logs (tail of y2log will do) -- 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.

...

But the real question is why is it required on a wlan card when the USERCONTROL bit is set.

Because (see bnc#605853) /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg.template: ## Type: yesno ## Default: no # # If an interface may be controlled from a user via kinternet or cinternet # you have to set this variable to yes. # USERCONTROL= http://en.opensuse.org/Qinternet : qinternet is a small application that an be used to start or stop internet dial-up connections. It's a frontend for smpppd and typically sits in the system tray waiting for your orders

From my side everything is ok except yast help text - I'll improve it
