Hi all,
several 3G cards (e.g. from Option) are reporting 10.11.12.13 as DNS
server, when they are not yet attached to a network, as you probably
know, see http://marc.info/?l=linux-ppp&w=2&r=1&s=bogus+DNS&q=b
There seem to be 2 possible solutions to this:
1) Patch PPP to accept MS-WINS settings and use high values for
ipcp-max-configure, ipcp-max-failure, ipcp-max-terminate and/or
ipcp-restart. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=445711 .
(I am using the mentioned patch currently. Works fine for me.)
2) Checking with AT command CGATT, whether the device is attached to a
network and only try to dial in when this is true.
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-ppp&m=121305432406467&w=2)
In order to get this fixed, I have several questions:
a) The Debian bug report states, this has been sent upstream. Has
upstream accepted, denied or forgotten about it? Is there an upstream
bugzilla for
linux-ppp?
b) Marco, could this patch be part of the Debian package? Dan, how is
this done in Fedora?
c) Dan, could solution 2 be integrated into NM?
