Description Bertil Askelid 2001-04-26 01:26:39 UTC

Connecting the Ricochet/GS modem to the USB port and then start a PPP
connection. The connection comes up and the outside world is pingable, but
the /sbin/ppp-watch program hangs. Here is a debug printout from the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp. The fail at the end is caused by
me, a first C-c causes a PPP disconnect, a second C-c causes exit from
ppp-watch and the "Failed to activate ..." printout:

ppp-watch is supposed to be synchronous; it's supposed to stay running
while the ppp connection is up. Or am I missing something about your
report?

Comment 2 Bertil Askelid 2001-04-26 02:04:37 UTC

You're absolutely right. I was calling my script that does /sbin/ifup without
spawning it, just waiting for the result. Easily changed. However, it did work
in 7.0.

Sorry for the confusion, and thanks a lot for the quick answer!!!
