Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7~beta2
Severity: normal
I have got wvdial working and in particular the pon.wvdial and poff.wvdial
commands. For consistency with the other network connections I have tried to
express this as a stanza in /etc/network/interfaces.
iface ppp0 inet dhcp
pre-up ppp0-up || true
post-down poff.wvdial || true
The ppp0-up sctipt (based upon 127786) is as follows:
nicholas@beaumont:~$ cat /usr/local/bin/ppp0-up
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch --p 1003 -v 12d1
/usr/bin/pon.wvdial "$@"
while sleep 1
do
if ifconfig ppp0 | grep UP >/dev/null
then
ifconfig ppp0 | grep 'inet addr'
break
fi
done
When I run 'ifup ppp0' I get much the output one would expect save for:
Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client 4.2.2

For info, please visit https://www.isc.org/software/dhcp/
Unsupported device type 512 for "ppp0"
Failed to bring up ppp0.
And of course ppp0 is not listed in /run/network/ifstate although the ppp0
connection is actually working according to ifconfig and actual use.
