Hi,
I use pppd to connect two serial bus points, i.e. I use it with the
"local" flag and not with a modem controls. It all works fine but when
downloading files I do get some errors reported by the ifconfig:
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:192.168.1.202 P-t-P:192.168.1.201
Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:3662 errors:381 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:3536 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
RX bytes:5454442 (5.2 MiB) TX bytes:203944 (199.1 KiB)
I tried to use the "debug" and "kdebug" flags when starting pppd but get
only the configuration related info but nothing during the runtime
that would tell me why the errors occurred or what do they mean. From what
I read, the ifconfig reports the contents of the /proc/net/dev file which
is updated by the kernel modules but again it is a statistics reporter
only without describing the nature of the errors.
How can I get more information about these errors?
Thanks,
Swavek
