For most implementations, IFF_RUNNING cannot be controlled by anything in user space (such as pppd). Instead, it's set/cleared by the kernel's PPP driver. Defining "working" is difficult. Usually, the IFF_RUNNING flag is set if the link is either a demand link waiting for activity or if there's an active serial link underneath the connection, and IFF_UP is set when IPCP successfully negotiates addresses. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carlsonj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ppp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
