redhat-config-network: two further (mild) wireless annoyances

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'd like to mention two further (mild) wireless annoyances. I haven't
yet checked bugzilla for those, because I'd like some feedback first
before filling bugs or requests ...

1) Shouldn't unchecking "Activate device when computer starts" result in
two entries in (usually) ifcfg-eth0: both "ONBOOT=no" AND "HOTPLUG=no"?
(By the way: "HOTPLUG=no" is rather "underdocumented" as far as I can
see.) Or would this trouble users of non-PCMCIA wireless cards? On the
other hand: I'd guess most wireless cards are PCMCIA cards ...

2) Talking about documentation: none of the wireless settings seem to be
mentioned in /usr/share/doc/initscripts-(...)/sysconfig.txt. Would it be
useful to have them documented there?

Any thoughts?
