Jon,
Actually it looks like the slip module does exist since he received the SLIP
module banner. :)
Ron,
Do not use an address for the diald proxy device that matches a subnet on
your local network. (And never have the local address match the address of
your network card.) If your local network is in the 192.168.0.x range then
the addresses you used could cause routing headaches with the kernels 2.1.x+
which automatically add routes when devices are configured. (It shouldn't
happen but I've helped folks where it did make a difference.)
For example if your local network is 192.168.0.x try moving the local
address to 192.168.254.1 and remote to 192.168.254.2.
Please check your routing and see if a default route to the slip device is
being setup. Also verify that the sl0 still exist. In other words the
output of 'route -n' and 'ifconfig' would be helpful.
-- To the question of setting up the devices --
Diald will first search for a tap device and then if that is not available
use a slip device. It will use either one, only one of the two really needs
to be configured. (Though I still set up both - just in case.)
Follow Robert's advice to set up ethertap support.
to add slip verify that:
CONFIG_SLIP=m
Please use the configuration tools to set up the kernel. Do not edit the
file directly. If you have done so please run 'make oldconfig' which will
do safety checks on the options selected (saves a lot of bogus bug reports
on the kernel list) and then verify that the needed options are still
available.
