Re: Can´t remove Kernel Modules
I haven't seen any responses to this one...
Quoting acop (wittner@uni-duesseldorf.de):

I'm not sure why you want to compile ppp in. You can get a similar
effect by just putting ppp into /etc/modules because you then have
to unload it yourself (it won't be autoclean).

My reaction to this would be to look at the logs at the other end.
If that isn't possible, you could try adding debug to your options
and watching the LCP dialogue. BTW don't strip the times from your
logs. Is there a time interval between the 3rd and 4th lines you've
quoted, for example.

"Cannot determine..." is not an error message. You have the proxyarp
option set, but you have no network interface configured so there's
nothing to be proxy for. Is that the problem which disappears? I can't
tell from the wording of your message.
>From your logs, I can't see what sent SIGHUP. If the other end was
finished, I would expect to see "LCP terminated at peer's request".
If this end was (i.e. someone typed poff), I would expect to see
"Terminating on signal 15. / Connection terminated." which is SIGTERM.
But your Echo Request wasn't replied to, which might be the cause;
I don't know, it's not happened to me.
