Hi Chaks ;) ,

You confuse 2 things

1) The kernel version given by 'uname -r' = 2.6.14_yos_1 vs.
2) the Yoper version as listed in /etc/yoper-release

Both values are independent of each other , and if you want to attempt to fix this, below is a snippet sent to me by the maintainer of knetworkconf. The current content of it is :

~/sandbox/scripts $ cat /etc/yoper-release
Yoper Linux  2.91-1.1 (for i686)

and as you know we're heading towards 3.0 , so the publically interesting values are 2.91 / 3.0 .

cheers and see you soon .

I did the above change in platform.pl.in and then compiled KNetworkConf, but yet, i dont get it worked.The network-conf program tells me that platform is not supported.

I have attached the file along with this mail.I would be happy if somebody helped me in this.

Thanks in advance.
