I didn't experience this problem with 2.6.30: my ppp script was hardwired to use ttyUSB0 and it always worked. Now with 2.6.31-rc3 it does not, as the device node keeps changing. I'll test this with opening ttyUSB directly from the shell, instead of via pppd, and report back whether it makes a difference. -- Regards, Feri. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-testers" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
