Description Jim Haynes 2010-03-15 23:22:44 UTC 
Description of problem:  Selecting dialup networking during software 
customization at install time results in Modem connection being among
the kinds of new network connections that can be selected in
system-config-network.  But when you choose that selection it tells
you that kudzu is required.  Kudzu is not included in the installation
CD ROM set, so if you only have dialup networking you can't get the
network up to download it from the repository.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

system-config-network-1.5.99-1.fc12.noarch  (In Fedora 13 Alpha distribution)

How reproducible: absolutely


Steps to Reproduce:
1. During installation, select dialup networking support during software
   customization
2.After system is up, system->administration->network, click New,
   click Modem connection
3.Read message saying kudzu is required.  (At least this is better than
it wuz - it used to crash the program.)
  
Need to either install kudzu automatically as a result of selecting
dialup networking support, or rewrite the application so it doesn't
need kudzu.

Comment 5 Jim Haynes 2010-03-19 16:52:15 UTC 
Good fix.  On F13 Alpha system I removed old system-config-network and
kudzu and the existing modem connection.  Then installed the new
system-config-netowrk-1.6.0-2.  and was able to create the modem connection.
It said it couldn't find a modem, but that's OK as I know the modem is
ttyS1 and put that in and it worked.
Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2010-03-19 17:43:04 UTC 
yeah, that's the trade-off: the Kudzu code did the detection, so without it, you need to know the device node for the modem.
