I'm having trouble advancing my 7.0 box to a 2.4.x kernel with pppd. I'm still stuck with dial up internet access (no other options where I live). I execute "/usr/sbin/pppd call myisp" to get on. Using ppp-2.3.11-143 with a 2.4.2 kernel I get this error message "ioctl(PPPIOCGFLAGS): Invalid argument". Here's my "myisp" script in /etc/ppp/peers: debug hide-password ttyS0 115200 crtscts noauth defaultroute connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/peers/chat-myisp' Here's my "chat-myisp" script: ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT "NO DIALTONE" ABORT "ERROR" ABORT "NO ANSWER" ABORT "BUSY" '' ATZ OK "ATE1M1V1X4L3S0=0\&c1Q0" OK "atdt5551212" "ost:--ost:" "user" "assword:" "password" Any help would be greatly appreciated. <<...OLE_Obj...>> <<...OLE_Obj...>>
Hi Cory, I run SuSE 7.0 and I think I am right in saying that you cannot continue to use ppp-2.3.11-143 with a 2.4 kernel - certainly not with a vanilla kernel anyway - I do not know about SuSE kernel. Although the change was supposed to be effective from kernel 2.4.0 it was, in fact, still possible to use ppp-2.3.11-143, with that version. However the position definitely changed with kernel 2.4.2. If you look at the Changes document that comes with the kernel you will see the explanation and the url to get the current ppp (ftp://linuxcare.com.au/pub/ppp). I am no expert, but before I was able to get it working I also had to make some changes to modules.conf (explained in the ppp docs as I recall) and to my wvdial setup because of password problems. Wiser folk on this list probably have better answers, but this may point you in the right direction until the cavalry arrives.
