------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-13 02:19 ------- However, ifcfg-eth* doesn't provide the functionality of switching networks like wireless.opts does. With wireless.opts you can do a 'cardctl scheme (name)', and modify all parameters of a wireless connection immediately. Quite a good thing for people who have a wireless network at home, and would like to also be able to use it at the local Starbucks, or at work. WEP keys need to be changed, etc. The current wireless.opts design does a pretty good job of accomplishing it. ------- 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: RESOLVED creation_date: description: Because I can't find previous reports of this fairly well-known "problem", I'm submitting this to bugzilla. With the current RedHat/Mandrake wireless init scripts, cardctl scheme'ing DOES NOT WORK, since wireless.opts is not parsed. This makes it impossible to quickly change between wep/non-wep networks via the console without manually editing the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file each time you change networks.
