After some internal debate, I d/l the kernel-source-2.4.21-238 (SuSE 9 Pro) and, after... (1)make distclean (2)make cloneconfig (3)make dep ...I compiled/installed the kernel & modules. The result was a good boot-up, but when the modem connected I could get no throughput, whatever. Everything else seemed to work very well. Just pppd seemed to be broken.
What about the original, patched, SuSE binary kernel, did you try it? Is it broken also? I mean, you could try the binary rpm, updated, to make sure it is nothing in your compilation.
I would be most interested if anyone else has experienced anything resembling this behaviour ...and what might possibly be checked and/or done to 'unbreak' pppd. I am also wondering if updating a kernel should change any relevent permissions...? Seems to me the permissions should remain stable. Am I mistaken?
Kind off, but in SuSE 9.1, kernel 2.6. I get very slow modem throughput, around 1.5 kb/s. You can find my full report on the issue here: Date: Sat, 24 Jul 2004 16:58:21 +0200 (CEST) From: Carlos E. R. To: SLE <suse-linux-e@suse.com> Subject: [SLE] Internet connection through modem in 9.1 is slow It would distress me to know that the problem is propagating across suse versions; therefore, I'd like to make sure that the suse binary kernel presents the problem, or not. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
