I have 2 ethernet cards, one for my ADSL link and one for my network, During 8,2b4 install, I accidentally configured the ADSL link to use the wrong card (eth0 and eth1 were exchanged wrt my usual 8.1 setup due to module loading order).
After my system was up, I tried to change this with draknet. This proved to be impossible. First of all, I find it very unintuitive that when I edit a network link in the "expert" mode and close the respective panel, I need to click "apply" in the main panel to actually commit the changes. For changing the ADSL ethernet card setting I needed to restart the wizard. This cleared all my (correctly entered) provider login data. So far only nuisances, nothing serious. I changed the ethernet card for the ADSL link with the wizard to "eth1". When trying to restart the connection, it failed. Inspection showed that the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/net_cnx_up script had still "eth0" hardcoded as the network device to use for the adsl link. The /etc/sysconfig/draknet* files now had (correctly) "eth1", but the command line parameter in net_cnx_up overrides that setting. I tried several other mover with draknet, but net_cnx_up did not change. Of course the problem was easily solved with vi by replacing eth0 with eth1 in net_cnx_up, but that's probably not what most users would do.
