Hi, I've got a weird problem with PPP connections that's beginning to baffle me.
I've got an iBook that I've never, until now, initiated a PPP connection with. Kernel 2.4.x fails to connect (from reading the logs it looks as though the LCP acknowledge packets are being ignored). So I dropped back to a 2.2.18 kernel. With both the rsync linux-pmac-stable (2.2.18pre21) tree from ppc.samba.org, and the vger 2.2.18 kernel, shortly after initiating a connection, any attempt to use the PPP connection causes a kernel panic and immeadiate death. It manages to complete the ppp handshaking and reports the IP address to syslog in the usual fashion. The connection I'm trying to make is to an ISP over a Nokia 7110, via a keyspan usb pda connector and a Nokia DLR-3 data cable. I'm using debian woody + unstable, ppp package ppp-2.4.0f-1. If anyone knows how to resolve this, I'd be very grateful! Thanks, Rob. -- rob off list/ng replies: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
