Hi
I installed the linuxant hfs driver for my connexant modem but am now having
problems when trying to dial out - I've been trying with both wvdial and
also kppp. The typical sort of *basic* error message I was getting with
kppp was like this:
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
when I looked at /var/log/messages I saw that pppd kept dying for some
reason (see attached varlogmessages.txt).
One weird thing I noticed is that pppd terminated with a signal 16 on wvdial
and a signal 15 on kppp.
Otherwise the problems with both of them seemed similar to me.
I have attached the kppp generated bugfile (PPP-logfile2.txt), the wvdial
log file (wvdial-logfile.txt) and also relevant sections from
/var/log/messages (varlogmessages.txt).
What could be going wrong with pppd?
Thanks,
Luke S
