redhat-config-network error
 

I am getting this ugly error when I try to acces redhat-config-network. I am using wireless lan card on laptop. Card is working fine and internet is also working, but I am unable to access the configuration.

Gives the following error

You can probably fix it by removing the RPM package and re-installing it.

it didnot help
 

I accidently posted the message as 'deth' as I was using a public computer and this person had not logged out.

Anyway, reinstalling the package didnot work. The same error pops up. Seems to be a bug :(

I don't know how to fix this problem. :scratch:
However, if you tell us what you wish to accomplish, we can tell you which configuration files you will need to modify.

Also, you can try using the non-GUI tool, type: redhat-config-network-tui
