Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated system-config-network packages that fix various bugs are now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
Description
The system-config-network package contains the Network Configuration tool, a
graphical utility that supports Ethernet, wireless, IPsec, Token Ring, ADSL,
ISDN, and PPP configuration.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Prior to this update, system-config-network may have been unable to load icon
files, and failed to start with the following error message:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'set_from_pixbuf'
This error has been fixed, and missing icon files no longer cause the utility to
crash. (BZ#197557)
- When a user attempted to create multiple entries that shared the same
hostname, only the last entry was stored to the /etc/hosts configuration file.
With this update, the underlying source code has been modified to allow such
action, and /etc/hosts can now contain multiple entries with the same hostname
as expected. (BZ#442458)
- Previously, running the system-config-network utility may have caused some
manual changes to the relevant configuration files to be lost. This error no
longer occurs, and such changes are now kept as expected. (BZ#447811)
- Due to an error in the graphical user interface, system-config-network
incorrectly allowed a translated wireless mode string to be supplied to the
iwconfig command. As a result, using system-config-network to configure a
wireless interface may have caused the interface not to work properly. With this
update, wireless modes are no longer stored in a translated form, and wireless
interfaces can now be configured as expected. (BZ#486629)
Users of system-config-network are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which resolve these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
