Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 52916
/sbin/ifup doesn't return for automatic-dialing PPP connections.
Last modified: 2014-03-16 22:23:07 EDT
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.7.10-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Set up a PPP connection. On the "Advanced" tab, select dialing type of "auto". 2.Open a terminal window. Run "/sbin/ifup ppp0". 3.Wait for the interface to come up. You won't get a prompt back. Actual Results: [Dialer IPass] Phone = 424-0050 Password = XXXXXX Username = XXXXXX Inherits = Modem0 Expected Results: [Modem0] Modem = /dev/ttyS2 # other stuff specific to the modem: init strings, etc. [Dialer IPass] Phone = 424-0050 Password = XXXXXX Username = XXXXXX Inherits = Modem0 Additional info:
This may be an initscripts bug, but I'm unsure of where the breakage is. The Actual and Expected results I entered are left over from another bug.
please try redhat-config-network from CVS and the new initscript. I cannot reproduce it on my local machine. I close it. If the bug is still here, please reopen it.
ifup now blocks until another process causes the connection to actually be brought up, and then ifup detaches/exits.
It's a bug in initscript. Nalin, did it work in 7.1/7.0? i did not make change in initscript for modem !
It's bug in initscript.
Closing bugs on older, no longer supported, releases. Apologies for any lack of response. If this persists on a current release, such as Fedora Core 4, please open a new bug.
