hi, all
I'm new to linux and I'm experiencing a problem that is at least a bit odd:
I first installed the kernel 2.2.17 and wvdial was working fine, then I
installed kernel 2.4.9 and wvdial stopped working properly: it said
something
like "the PPP deamon has died!" right after it said the lines:
"--> PPP negotiation detected
--> starting pppd at ...
CSLIP: code copyright...."
after reconfiguring the files several times I and a friend concluded the
problem was in the modules I'd installed or not. Then I recompiled the
kernel
three times and in the second time wvdial almost worked:
pppd didn't die, but I wasn't able to ping any location but one the
/etc/ppp/ip-up ppp0 provided...
I presume you run stable? Did you read the changes for kernel 2.4.x?
There are a bunch of files you need to update to run kernel 2.4. The
best and easyest way is via apt-get with the soucres from Adrian Bunk at
