Re: Re: [SLE] Problem with pppd

Seems I have more than one problem. I recompiled my kernel and modules. This stopped pppd from complaining about char-major-108. Right now my dial-in script works unless I use the demand option. For some reason, that kills pppd. My error: "transfer_ppp failed: wanted unit 0, got 1." Does anyone have any idea what that means or how to tell pppd to use unit 1? pppd will go into demand mode and ppp0 is waiting patiently for net activity. As soon as I start a browser or ping out, it dies with the above message. John ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen P.

Have you made any progress?

I'm having the same problem. I upgraded from 7.0 to 7.2 and my ppp

scripts

stopped working. I haven't completely isolated the problem, but I think it has something to do with the kernel options. I have wvdial working as a temp fix until I can get my own script working again.
