From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: My scripts for Ericsson GPRS phones (www.iki.fi/mikko.rapeli/linux_gprs.html) work fine with Redhat 6.0 and 6.2 pppd's (e.g. pppd 2.3.10), but on 7.0 and 7.1 the pppd 2.4.0 IPCP negotiations don't work for some odd reason. A friend of mine upgraded the pppd to 2.4.1 from a source package and the problem was fixed. Please put a newer version of pppd to your distributions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pppd 2.4.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install my scripts from http://www.iki.fi/mikko.rapeli/linux_gprs.html, and buy an Ericsson GPRS phone ;) 2. Try to use them with pppd 2.4.0, which comes with RH7.1 for example 3. Actual Results: IPCP negotiations hung Expected Results: Peer IP address negotiations should succeed Additional info:
Please verify this with a newer version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Fedora Core and reopen it against the new version if it still occurs. Closing as "not a bug" for now.
