ppp filters need more headroom?
Running SuSE 9.1 on a PII with 400 mHz and 209 Mb of usable memory I had some unexplained freezing of my KDE desktop. Only a reset brought me out of these freezes. Only with the last freeze I could go to Ctrl Alt F10 and found following info which I assume gives the reason of the freeze. kernel: ppp filters (out) not running, need 12 bytes more headroom. Even if it may be not the cause of the freeze, how can I get rid of this kernel error information? Headroom? = memory or swap? or what?

What type of modem do you have? I know there are things broken with ppp in 9.1, with a buffer overrun somewhere. I have reported it months ago, but nobody seemed to care. I would report what you said to feedback directly. Not to count the inexplicable slowness of transmission for some users (less than 1.5 kb/s). :-/ -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Hi Carlos. I'm running 9.1 and I noticed that WiFi seems to use some version of ppp. I noticed that my 802.11b card seems to throttle data, data comes down the pipe at a wicked speed and then yast2 just seems to sit at the download screen not moving the data along, the system ( 1GHz 256MB RAM) seems to grind to an extremely slow pace. Seems to be a leak somewhere to me too. -- Charles McColm, SuSE, Red Hat and Debian GNU Linux user: charm@porchlight.ca For off-beat Red Hat and SuSE Linux documentation: http://members.porchlight.ca/charm
