Hi Duncan,
thanks for your answer.
I'd like to have some more details.

>Hi Vouno, try applying the following patch to pppd's pppoatm.c:
I think this is a patch to apply to recompile the kernel so to "tell" to
pppoatm to use every device it is able to find.
Is it possible there isn't a way to tell to module pppoatm to look for another
device without recompile everything ?
I'm not able to read the code in pppoatm.c but somewhere there should be a
"pointer" to the device.
Maybe in /proc i could change something via script to give pppoatm the right
references.
What do you think about it ?
I'm actually using pppd 2.4.3 on kernel 2.6.8. If this is the only way to solve
the problem than i'll use it, but before i'll look more infos on this.
Another strange thing is the disconnection and reconnection of the usb port.
Googling around i found other references to this behavior, but all with old
kernels (2.4.x e 2.6.1).
Last question. Where did you find this patch ? I couldn't find refs anywhere.
Thanks again e ciao,
Vouno
