Greetings.
Problem:
When connecting to the internet using wvdial I lose my connection over and over and over. I get an error code 16 (the modem hung up). Anyone have an idea what might be going on?
I have an external modem on ttyS0.
While this is annoying, at least wvdial will redial and connect again. I am trying to download packages for upgrading & installing with emerge.
When I lose my connection then it reconnects, emerge will not restart
the file transfer. Since I can only keep a connection for a short time,
this is proving impossible. Is there a way to have emerge resume the
transfer once the connection is reestablished?
I am not familiar with wvdial, but used diald in a past. In case of problems I always identified it in logs, so let's have a look at logs too. If it's not sufficient, check if debug flag of wvdial is on and/or increase log level.
Run emerge -f some_pkg at first, it's doing append by default, but it will not auto start after the fail. To have such functionality u have to make a simple script for it.
Anyway from your message it's not clear if your inet connection works even for short time. Check it by "ping www.gentoo.org" and let us now.
