The reason for the way Network Manager does it now is so that everything is autodetected. The device is inserted, udev and HAL make the device available to NetworkManager and tell it the serial port to talk to. This way the user doesn't have to do anything, the device just works. I did post on the NM Mailing list to see if Dan or anyone know of a way to make it work but I don't think there is at this time (The new Modem Manager being written for .8 might be able to handle this). What Rich wrote looks to be the best option in the near-term, I just need to get XLT to build or to build the Kernel module without the GUI. Is it possible to run pppob so that it exports the serial interface rather than over stdin/stdout? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Barry-devel mailing list Barry-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/barry-devel
