From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: I have an adsl PCI card which I have set up. Creating a PPPoA connection with pppd call adsl works fine, but if I set up ifcfg-ppp0 and do ifup ppp0 the connection comes up but ppp-watch never sees this and hangs, so ifup never terminates. (Hardware is Sangoma S518; driver is GPL but not using the version in the kernel tree using more recent vendor version). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-8.11.1-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure ifcfg-ppp0 2. Configure ppp peers file 3. ifup ppp0 Actual Results: ifup hangs. Expected Results: Should have returned once ip configuration had happened. Additional info: /etc/ppp/peers/adsl /dev/ttyWP0 debug lock sync asyncmap 0 noauth noipdefault defaultroute mtu 1458 ifcfg-ppp0: DEVICE=ppp0 ONBOOT=yes DEFROUTE=yes DEVNAME=adsl MODEMPORT=/dev/ttyWP0
Are you able to determine which end condition for ppp-watch isn't getting met? (This is going to be something which will be hard to do hands-on debugging here.)
Trying to trace it. I think netreport may not be working. But I am slightly stuck following the logic. What process actually sends the signals to the PIDs in /var/run/netreport?
ifup-post.
Ok, was a config problem; I will post some configs that work on the web. Can close now.
