 Posted: Thu Jan 16, 2003 12:40 am Post subject: wvdial restarts (but kppp dosn't) w/ ltmodem |
 |
|
I have an ltmodem and I can't get it to work. I installed it using the latest ebuild mentioned in one of the bug-fixes and it compiled fine but when I run wvdial it connects and then resets shortly after connecting.
Also building the modules using ./build_module failed.
here is what happens with wvdial i commented out personal info
| Code: |
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.53
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ

OK
--> Modem initialized.

| that's the driver that i was using. Do you think you could post your gcc version and the version of the kernel your using? |

When you compile kernel, did you enable
ppp support for async serial ports under Network
device support?
By the way, I heard that for Lucent driver, it would be
better to use "ATX3DT???????" to dial up, where
??????? is your dialup number. |

| OK, I emerged kde, and strangely enough, I can connect to the internet using kppp. I would still like to be able to use wvdial so any help would be appreciated. |

Had the same problem. /dev/ppp0 does not exist! Here's the code to make it:
| Code: |
mknod /dev/ppp0 c 108 0
|
Now WvDial should work fine. |

I have suffered from the same problem, my thoughts is that it's something to do with wvdial or wvstreams cause it works perfectly with kppp. I do remember that it was working perfectly for ages then during one of the many emerge rsyncs something happened.
Unfortunatly I now use another box running freesco to dial up to the internet so I have flaged away trying to make it work. But as a suggestion emerge an older wvdial and see what happens.
Regards
Tim

| I can't emerge an older version because there is no ebuild for it, but I will download another version and try. |

all you have to do is cp wvdial*version*.ebuild to wvdial*anearlierver*.ebuild and then run #ebuild wvdial*ealierversion* digest ....wait till that finishes then emerge wvdial*earlierversion*.ebuild.......
Cheers
Dale.

If I do that when I do emerge -u world it will just get rid of the package.
Unless you know of a way to make a package so it dosn't get updated... |

I just noticed something: When I run kppp it outputs the following message to a console:
"modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp0
Maybe this has something to do with it? Does anyone know what kernel option I have to enable to get it?
btw, I couldn't compile wvdial 1.52 |
