Description Mikko Rapeli 2001-09-27 06:17:18 EDT

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

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.
