Bringing up the network and errors

[Mark Hamzy]

If I boot with "linux askmethod" and the network fails to come up, anaconda
does not bring up the manual network configuration dialog.  However, if I
boot with "linux vnc", the dialog will come up after the failure.  Does
this sound like a bug to you all?

It seems like in readNetConfig(), LOADER_FLAGS_ASKNETWORK is not set.  So,
after wait_for_iface_activation() fails, it returns out.

It sounds like a bug. Please file it to bugzilla and provide as much
information as you can -- at least release version and anaconda.log
