Yes, actually everything works fine.
But I don't use ppp to connect to a ISP, I study the ppp software code for
my thesys project.
I have two linux pc (towel and gandalf) connected through a null modem.
The first time that I compiled PPP, I got log messages like
Apr 27 18:10:14 gandalf kernel: CSLIP: code copyright 1989 Regents of the
University of California
Apr 27 18:10:14 gandalf kernel: PPP: version 2.3.3 (demand dialling)
Apr 27 18:10:14 gandalf kernel: PPP line discipline registered.
So I could notice that ppp_init() and ppp_first_time() in ppp.c in kernel
where invoked when launching pppd for the first time in a linux session and
then no more. Which is what I expected.
Now, that I compiled ppp several times with various new printk() that I
added to trace the program better for my goal, but with none further
modification, I get none of the three logs above, but just
Apr 30 09:39:17 towel modprobe: can't locate module ppp0
(towel and gandalf have the same software and give the same kind of logs, I
just accidentally saved the logs of gandalf the first time I compiled ppp on
the both and since then on, I always saved just the logs of towel)
ppp_init() and ppp_first_time() in ppp.c in kernel seem to be invoked no
more.
What's happening?
I'd be grateful if you could solve this doubt of mine.
