I have a problem with connecting with an ISDN card (Asuscom passive
PCI card). I have compiled in the real time extensions on rtlinux for
the kernel, and I can dial out and establish the connection by doing the
following:
ifup ippp0
isdnctrl dial ippp0
route set default ippp0
After that the route seems correct. However, as soon as a first
connection is made to an outside IP address, the kernel crashes and
panics. I am to try out a new kernel (without RT extensions) today, but
it seems not to be the trouble.
Has anyone had this problem? Is there a workaround?
By the way, the ppp code in Mandrake seems to be broken. I have to
put by hand that the module "char-major-108" is indeed "ppp" in
/etc/modules.conf. Is this some sort of a half backport from 2.4 ppp
code, that uses ppp-generic.o? I have had that problem twice, in two
different installations of Linux Mandrake. One of them was for my
brother, that seems quite annoyed by that fact (he is a reluctant but
resigned windows user).
Could that alias (and the compression aliases) be added by default as
soon as pppd is installed?
