------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-07 01:12 ------- In todays' cooker, this is ALMOST fixed. The network now shows as "not configured" when the Summary panel appears initially. However, if you pursue configuration (I checked autodetect and expert), the result of the autodetect has the modem checked (this is correct, there is a modem) but not lan (which should be checked, because there is a 3c905 card that cooker has been detecting all along). If I manually check "lan" and proceed, the next panel says "3c905C-TX detected, do you have another ?", so the autodetect seems to be working --- it's just that the "lan" box isn't checked as is should be. Another nit is that if you proceed through the configuration dialog and deselect "Automatic IP Address" to use a static address, the "Assign hostname from DHCP address" box is not deselected, and you can't manually deselect it as long as the "Automatic IP" box is not selected. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Today's cooker seems to be deciding that it needs the network before it's been configured from the Network tab of the Summary page. It assumes DHCP, and installs dhcpcd-client, and then appears to hang. The hang is because it is timing out looking for a DHCP server, and there is none. The hang eventually times out, but when I actually get the Summary dialog and go to configure the network, it tells me that the network was already configured and I can leave it as is. It doesn't seem to realize that it never managed to connect with DHCP, and it shouldn't be trying it anyway.
