Hi,

Problem: Internet via a Nokia from a laptop with F10 x86_64 does not (no longer?) work. Assigned IP address on laptop is the same as the broadcast address.

A laptop with up-to-date Fedora 10 x86_64, NetworkManager version 0.7.0-0.12.svn4326, a Nokia E71 and a USB cable for use between the Nokia and the laptop. The Nokia has a working permanent GPRS Internet connection. Steps I do to setup a link between the laptop and Nokia:

1) I added the T-Mobile mobile broadband profile in NetworkManager
2) I plug the USB cable into the phone and laptop and select "PC Suite"
   on the phone when asked
3) I select the T-Mobile profile in NetworkManager
4) NM starts chewing and reports after a few secs that a connection has
   been setup

Result:
Internet no longer works on the Nokia nor from the laptop via the Nokia. In NetworkManager I select "Connection Information" and notice that the IP address and Broadcast address are the same. Pings fail except to the public IP address assigned to the laptop.

Question:
Is this a bug? I'm no IP addressing expert so IP address == broadcast address might be valid.

It is absolutely incorrect.  Your NIC should NOT have the broadcast
address as its IP address.

FWIW I think this used to work fine when I initially did a fresh install of F10 on the laptop.

In /var/log/messages I see:
ifcfg-fedora:     error: Missing or invalid IP4 prefix '0'

Here is some more logging when setting up a connection:

I believe there is/was a bug in NM, so make sure you update it.  You may
have to hand-edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 script
to fix it.
