Description of problem: Whenever I started my PC connected to and ADSL USB modem (Huawei) I have to make the conection by hand. Now I entered the commands to the /etc/rc.local and connection is comming up at boot time, but I think the place for this is in the network configuration scripts, especificaly /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0. The lines I have to add are: modprobe br2684 br2684ctl -c 0 -b -a 0.33 ifconfig nas0 up ifup ppp0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 8.45.7-1 How reproducible: As mentioned above Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: If I enable ppp0 at boot it doesn't work Expected results: ppp0 has to come up in boot time. Additional info:
1) if you need to load that module by hand, it's a bug in that module 2) the br2684ctl line looks like it's best done in a udev script 3) what is nas0?
Sorry Bill. Got it fixed in modprobe.conf: alias nas0 br2684 install br2684 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install br2684 && /usr/sbin/br2684ctl -c 0 -b -a 0.33 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : The thing was that there was no information on how to automatize this. Seeing how the sound card got loaded I tried those lines in modprobe.conf whcih work like a charme. Thaks anyway.
With that, does it work? If it's a USB device, the driver really should be loading automatically.
The problem was not with the USB module, which is the ueagle-atm, but with the br2685 module (I'm not an expert on this) that is a bridge to the ATM protocol. The thing is that there are parameters that have to be given to the module (the br2684) to make it work with my ISP (the -a 0.33 argument), and the only way I knew how to do it was with the command lines that I stated in the original message here. Maybe, as there is a proliferance of USB modem there should be a graphical interface in Fedora con configure them.
Moving to system-config-network, then. Not sure how automatically this could be detected and configured, though.
very difficult to automatize this...
