Hello all

I am having trouble getting pppd (2.4.2_r1) to start at boot. It works fine if I log in as root and run pppd but not at boot time without logging in. I am starting it from /etc/conf.d/local.start.

The error message is

Code:
pppd 2.4.2  started by root, uid0
connect(0.38): Resource tempoarily unavailable
Exit.


I am using kernel 2.6.5_r1 and a usb speedtouch 330 and it is syncronised and ready.

Any ideas?

Thank in advance

Fixed this by adding speedtouch to rc-update default level. Then amended /etc/conf.d/speedtouch to point to the microcode location and added the -s -k to the modem_run_extraopts.

Then amended /etc/ppp/peers/adsl as per the /etc/ppp/options in https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=99759&highlight=speedtouch+2+6 without the

Code:
lock
asyncmap 0
0.38


and the modem is connected at boot time without having to log in.

Finally!!! Hope this helps anyone else.
