1.2.6

The glade file for activation/deactivation of devices had been forgotten in previous releases.

Redhat-control-network now uses usernetctl, due to a bug in ifup/ifdown.

Plugin handling was improved. HW list handling was improved. The wireless GUI was corrected.

1.2.4

Some minor bugs were removed from redhat-config-network.

The device activation/deactivation dialog now has a output box and a cancel button. Hardware detection uses kudzu now mostly.

redhat-config-network-cmd now has the ability to import/export the whole network configuration from/to a single file.

To export:

# redhat-config-network-cmd -e > network.conf

To import to a chroot file hierarchy:

# redhat-config-network-cmd -i -c -r /tmp -f network.conf

which will create in my case:

/tmp/etc/
/tmp/etc/sysconfig
/tmp/etc/sysconfig/networking
/tmp/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices
/tmp/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-Arcor2

To see what's going on, use the -v option, which increases the level every time it is used. If a traceback happens, you can switch on the python debugger with --debug.
