$ /sbin/ifup ppp0
Users cannot control this device
So I used Netconf to say users can.
$ /sbin/ifup ppp0 now doesn't give that error, but the modem ( external USR
56K message modem on ttyS0 ) says "beep boop" and stops.
In latest cooker, "# /sbin/ifup ppp0" as root works, but not in 8.0.
kppp works...
[13:52 peter@penguin:~]$ kppp
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
Kernel supports ppp alright.
... but it works.
Please can you fix this - I have scripts that use /sbin/ifup ppp0 and
/sbin/ifdown and they don't work.
