Re: Dial up problems when upgrading 2.4 to 2.6 kernel
I don't know which driver my modem uses but it's an US Robotics 56k model 3CP5610A and it used to work perfectly with the old kernel. I´m pretty sure that I'm connecting to my ISP. I'm using wvdial to connect and I can see all the messages (sending login, password, authentication, starting pppd, etc). It doesn´t seem to be a DNS problem since I´ve installed the testing ppp package and the ping still doesn´t work, nor the numerical address nor the named address. What could it be?
PS: I noticed that the new kernel is loading the ipv6 module, could it be the problem?
