hi, all I'm new to linux and I'm experiencing a problem that is at least a bit odd: I first installed the kernel 2.2.17 and wvdial was working fine, then I installed kernel 2.4.9 and wvdial stopped working properly: it said something like "the PPP deamon has died!" right after it said the lines: "--> PPP negotiation detected --> starting pppd at ... CSLIP: code copyright...." after reconfiguring the files several times I and a friend concluded the problem was in the modules I'd installed or not. Then I recompiled the kernel three times and in the second time wvdial almost worked: pppd didn't die, but I wasn't able to ping any location but one the /etc/ppp/ip-up ppp0 provided... with the last kernel I compiled the problem came back to pppd died. I was tired of compiling kernels, so I just moved the folder /lib/modules/2.4.9 out of the way and set the 2.4.9.old (wich was the folder of the last kernel) as 2.4.9. Strangely wvdial started working again, but when I reboot (with the folders switched) it doesn't. It only works when I boot with the folder I'm supposed to and then switch with the old one. All I want is to know the modules I really need. The PPP modules I have currently installed are: 1. M PPP support 2. * PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL) 3. * PPP filtering 4. M PPP suport for async serial ports 5. M PPP suport for sync tty ports 6. M PPP Deflate compression 7. M PPP BSD-Compress compression 8. M PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL) 2 and 8 were added the last time. 3 was added the time before that. Note: when I tried connecting with kppp it always said "pppd died unexpectedly", even when I could connect with wvdial, but now it only says "Sorry, can't open modem!". If anyone could help me with that too... Thanx Guiu
