Greetings,
I'm using kernel 2.3.99-pre6, devfs-patch-v165,
devfsd-v1.3.8 and modutils-2.3.11-1. I have built
ppp and serial as modules. I found that I needed to
put:
-------------------
alias ppp0 ppp_generic
-------------------
in /etc/modules.conf, to get anything started.
Why didn't devfsd work this out without the extra hint?
I have:
-------------------
REGISTER .* MKOLDCOMPAT
UNREGISTER .* RMOLDCOMPAT
LOOKUP .* MODLOAD
-------------------
in /etc/devfsd.conf.
The much more important problem is that after dialing,
during what seems to be the ppp negotiation, pppd
dies, leaving:
-------------------
WvDial: PPP negotiation detected.
pppd[1234]: Serial connection established.
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module tty-ldisc-3
pppd[1234]: ioctl(TIOCSETD): Invalid argument(22)
pppd[1234]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
pppd[1234]: Exit.
-------------------
in the logs. Anyone know what this means
and how to fix it?
Cheers,
chippo
