Description Pascal Maillard 2010-01-05 21:17:44 UTC

Version:           Unbekannt (using 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 6", openSUSE 11.2)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31.8-0.1-desktop

- create a connection (e.g. by connecting to a wireless network) or edit an existing one
- in the tab "IP address", select the option "Automatic (DHCP) Addresses Only"
- click OK
- edit the connection again
- in the tab "IP address", select the option "Automatic (DHCP)"
- click OK
- now edit the connection again and go to the tab "IP address", the option "Automatic (DHCP) Addresses Only" is still selected!

This severe bug has the most annoying effect that no route and DNS are set for the connection in question! (which cost me half a day to figure out, I thought my wireless driver had a flaw....).

Comment 3 Pascal Maillard 2010-01-08 18:17:09 UTC

Thanks for the quick fix. I further suggest that a warning be displayed or confirmation is asked for if the user chooses "DHCP addresses only" without specifying gateway and DNS server.
