pppd gateway/software suspend
Hi folks After the mobile phone nightmare, I finally decided and got the motorola c350. Thanks a lot for all your help. The mobile I got is cheap, it works, and comes with an excellent flat rate by vodafone that allows 24h gprs connection at 20 Euro a month. Also, the usb cable, being a normal cable, is rather cheaper than the usual ones. In conclusion, I'm quite happy with it. I haven't managed to make it visible with wammu though. Anyway, here's my questions, non strictly laptop specific, but very much related to it 1)When I start pppd connection (I use wvdial, I find it a lot easier and intuitive), I get CONNECT --> Carrier detected. Waiting for prompt. --> Don't know what to do! Starting pppd and hoping for the best. --> Starting pppd at Fri Mar 19 10:45:14 2004 --> pid of pppd: 1026 --> Using interface ppp0 --> local IP address 10.216.180.29 --> remote IP address 192.168.100.101 --> primary DNS address 194.185.97.134 --> secondary DNS address 194.185.97.134 So far, so good then. However, when I ping, I don't get anywhere. Problem is pppd connection hasn't set the right gateway, so I have to do it by hand, with tedious (I'm quite lazy in fact) route add default gw Does anybody know how to do that automatically? I mean, is there a way to get the gateway set dynamically as it does with the dns? Second question. I've just compiled 2.6.2 kernel. I like innovation and patched with swsusp patches from sourceforge. Everything is on, but when I suspend, it looks all right, it umounts everything, get a blank screen with "writing disc caches" or something similar on and an indicator for the state of the process and when it finishes, it poweroff. However, when I restart, it seems id doesn't find any swap image and does Software Suspend 2.0: Checking for image...

Priority:-1 extents:1 in fact, nothing. Then it executes fschk because the file system was not unmounted cleanly. I mean, is it having fun of me?

SoI don't knowis there a configuration in the suspend.sh script I haven't done? Or what?

Add the 'defaultroute' option, or remove 'nodefaultroute', from the options passed to the pppd process. Daniel -- When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. -- Hunter S.

Realtek AC97
I've got a Realtek AC'97 soundcard in my laptop - running Debian Sid on 2.6.3, I've got the correct ALSA modules in my kernel, and I can play a CD - however I can't play anything else... mpg123 just says: Can't open default sound device! ([EMAIL PROTECTED]:music)# ls -al /dev/audio lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 11 2003-12-31 03:14 /dev/audio -> /dev/audio0 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]:music)# ls -al /dev/audio0 crw-rw1 root audio 14, 4 2003-12-31 03:14 /dev/audio0 Since I'm trying to play something as root, I assume that this can't be a permissions problem? lsmod shows the relevant modules installed: snd_intel8x0 29444 0 snd_ac97_codec 60676 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_pcm86500 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_timer 21700 1 snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 9252 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm snd_mpu401_uart 6176 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_rawmidi18272 1 snd_mpu401_uart I assume that something is working right since I can play a CD, but I'm stumped as to what is stopping me playing anything else?
