Package: ppp Version: 2.4.3-20050321+2, 2.4.4b1-1 The pppoatm plugin for pppd cannot accept a wildcard argument for an ATM device. This becomes an issue when using a USB ADSL modem (e.g. Alcatel Speedtouch) and the USB host controller disconnects the modem, then later re-connects it with a new USB address and consequently a new ATM device number. By my reading of the changelogs, this "bug" exists in both the stable and testing/unstable packages.
Details and original patch here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg08108.html My system: Debian GNU/Linux 3.1, kernel 2.6.16.22 This one-line patch does apparently require a 2.6.16 kernel. It is also not my patch; it was written by Duncan Sands and merely re-diff'd by me. diff -ruNp ppp-2.4.3.orig/pppd/plugins/pppoatm/pppoatm.c ppp-2.4.3/pppd/plugins/pppoatm/pppoatm.c --- ppp-2.4.3.orig/pppd/plugins/pppoatm/pppoatm.c 2004-11-06 19:55:28.000000000 +1300 +++ ppp-2.4.3/pppd/plugins/pppoatm/pppoatm.c 2006-07-06 14:10:47.885327414 +1200 @@ -75,7 +75,7 @@ static int setdevname_pppoatm(const char //info("PPPoATM setdevname_pppoatm: '%s'", cp); memset(&addr, 0, sizeof addr); if (text2atm(cp, (struct sockaddr *) &addr, sizeof(addr), - T2A_PVC | T2A_NAME) < 0) { + T2A_PVC | T2A_NAME | T2A_WILDCARD) < 0) { if(doit) info("atm does not recognize: %s", cp); return 0; -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
