Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated system-config-network package that fixes two bugs and adds
an enhancement is now available.
Description
System-config-network is the user interface of the network configuration
tool, supporting Ethernet, Wireless, TokenRing, ADSL, ISDN and PPP.
This updated package adds the following bug fixes and enhancement:
- previously, the textual user interface (TUI) version of
system-config-network contained a reference to the "Primary DSN".
This typo has now been corrected to "Primary DNS". (BZ#496307)
- previously, system-config-network did not set the MACADDR
network parameter. The lack of this parameter made it impossible
to enable layer 2 interfaces on IBM System z without further
manual configuration. The MACADDR parameter has now been added to
QETH dialogs and internal structures or system-config-network,
enabling the configuration of layer 2 interfaces. (BZ#484289)
- previously, when system-config-network configured QETH interfaces
in textual user interface (TUI) mode, it attempted to set ports whether
the hardware existed or not. When the tool attempted to configure
non-existent hardware, it would crash. Now, system-config-network tests
whether hardware exists before configuring it. This allows users to
configure QETH interfaces with the TUI tool without causing a crash.
(BZ#507766)
All users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
these issues and adds this enhancement.
