Hi,
I'll start by saying this problem has eluded me for weeks now and I hope
some one out there can make a suggestion as to where to start.
I have tried the last 3 versions of the kernel (125,126,127 and all the
patches I can find) and they compile and run great. Currently running
2.0.34 (when I need ppp) and 2.1.127 w/ ac1. Also have a 3Com 905B-TX and
have used the 99.E drivers... It works somewhat, I can ping everything on the
local network. But... I get lo errors and ppp says routing is broke. Here
is some output:
--output from netstat -rn

I have created /dev/route with the proper maj/min nodes. Not sure what else
I need to do at this point. I have used the latest modutils also. Had to
reinstall 2.1.85 to get 2.0.34 to work again. I've only been at this about a
year now...This may be third grade stuff to some, but for us kindergardner's
it's tough. Oh well, I came for an education :)
