------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-18-10 11:10 ------- Am Samstag, 18. Oktober 2003 00:16 schrieb [baud]: Yep, alltough using the name adsl instead the name of the connection/ISP is not so optimal. with your way you have to specify the options file for pppd. The way mandrake has choosen gives the possibility to use another approach, alltough i have seen, that it isn't really used. If you put options files in /etc/ppp/peers/ you can dial up the connection with pppd call <nameofthepeerscript>. This can be done too by an unprivileged user(non-root) as well if you are giving the rights well. Further it gives the possibility of configuring different ISPs/modems/options and choosing the wished at the time you connect (using different peerscript names). Further you can organize the peerscripts in an directory structure under /etc/ppp/peers/ , f.i. using isdn/, modem/ and adsl/ and put some script in that dirs, you can later use 'pppd call isdn/isp1' or 'pppd call adsl/isp1' You can read in man pppd about peer scripts. I find it far better than options.<somename> and link that file to options or the like. HTH Steffen -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: With Tux and Sl33p3r we are working of the next release of eagle-usb, the driver formerly known as adiusbadsl for ADSL Modems Sagem Fast800, Comtrend CT350, AT-AR215 (based on Analog Eagle Chip) used in France, England, Poland, Spain... When launching Drakconnect, it keeps insisting on installing adiusbadsl-1.0.4 which overwrites the installation made from tar.gz and erases part of the configuration. Suppose there is an RPM v1.0.5 available, how would it replace the existing 1.0.4 version ? Would it be automagically installed ? From where ? As it would not be the original cdrom and there are chances the internet connection is down...) Could it be possible to deactivate this "functionality" not to be annoyed any more ? And avoid losing configuration... BTW, you are using a config file for pppd that is /etc/ppp/peers/adsl : is it standard ? We had chosen /etc/ppp/options.adsl and had not clearly understood your move in Mandrake 9.1, so that startadsl (provided by the same rpm) would not work without manual creation of /etc/ppp/options.adsl from /etc/ppp/options.adsl.template. Is it the same structure for all modem drivers (either dial-up or ADSL) and for other distributions ? Where is there a recommendation to put it this way rather than the other ? We would like to adapt our scripts to be fully compliant with Mandrake (and remain compatible with other distributions as well).
