Grr…I just want to get my network config back as need to test something on client site WIFI setting..

heck..


vi /usr/share/system-config-network/netconfpkg/gui/maindialog.py


go to line 602
add comment to both problematic line..


# hclist.append([host.IP, host.Hostname,
# string.join(host.AliasList, ' ')])


examine the /etc/hosts later and fix could be ideal way..

this would be a help if you only want to spend a less 1minute time to fix this .. in order to get it up again ..

and continue the work..

p/s : .. the linksys WIFI setting just went mad.. no idea why..

Updates 2 ::: Fixed it..refer to comment.
