ra0 in OSCenter
Does anyone know if there are any plans to put a ra0 tab into Network INterfaces in OSCenter by time 6.0 is fully released? I just used synaptic to go from beta2 to beta3 ( I think ) and there still isn't support for ra0.. I'd love to be able to set up my network to load automatically.. as well as be able to fiugre out how to see my printer that is shared from a windows machine. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mitch

Still broken
It looks like it's still broken in the latest beta 4. Warren did add ra0 and rausb0 during the 6.0-4 development cycle (thanks fro me). But, it doesn't work yet from what I can see testing it.
The problem is that it appears to totally ignore your settings and assumes you're using a static ip address (the defaults). Hopefully, it will work by the time 6.0-4 goes final.
See this thread for more details (and I've already sent an e-mail to about it):

It works now
Warren updated the network configuration tool.
If you load Synaptic with the 6.0-4 Betas, Reload, Mark All Upgrades and Apply, you'll get a working tool to configure ra0 and rausb0 now (works for me now anyway). The problem had something to do with an interfaces file not being updated via Synaptic.
