The answer to this question is probably well known but
alas not to me. PPP on 2.0.34 RedHat 5.1 has been working
very reliably for me. I recently upgraded a system and
for reasons not related to ppp, I would like to run a 2.1.117
or 2.1.126 kernel. PPP over 2.0.34 continues to work fine
on the new machine but I can't get it even to start on either
of the 2.1.x kernels.
It gets a "network down" return code from the SIOCADDRT
ioctl(). This looks to be out of the fib_semantics.c routine
which is part of the new routing table code (not present at
all in 2.0.34 kernels). I have noticed some ad hoc fixes
in the sys-linux.c module of pppd for various lower levels
of 2.1.x kernels.
Today I installed version 2.3.4 of ppp and built me a new
pppd but still no luck.
Following is the log with debug enabled (and a few of my syslogs
added.)
Thanks for any insights,
