https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227426 Summary: When changing NIC from DHCP to Static, fill in the values for IP address and Netmask Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mboman@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com It'd be nice if YaST could pre-populate the values for IP and Netmask when switching from DHCP to Static. For IP, it'd be enough to fill in something like '192.168.1.' and then let the user enter the last digits. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Most used netmask is 255.255.255.0 When implement this, only as button labeled "propose configuration", not to propose as default -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

The mask should definitely be taken from DHCP. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
