Known Issues
wlkeytool
generates an error message—When wlkeytool
is run on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0-1 on AMD64 or EM64T configuration, the following error message is displayed:
error fetching interface information: Device not found
The error is due to a change in the syntax of the netstat
command in Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS, ES 3.0 and higher. This problem does not affect the execution of wlkeytool
, so it can be ignored.
