Another update. Up to now, when pppd disconnected I was having to reboot the machine to get the EVDO card reinitialized to dial again. Now I found a workaround. The following steps reinitialize my EVDO card without having to reboot and without having to remove the hardware (which AFAIK still causes a panic on S10U2).
1) cfgadm -l -- to find out which usb port is the EVDO card's port -- in my case, it's usb3/1 (as seen in the steps below); 2) cfgadm -c unconfigure usb3/1 -- apparently does nothing to the device, but brings cfgadm's internal structures to a state in which the device can be configured again; 3) cfgadm -c configure usb3/1 -- which really initializes the card and brings it to the point where I can dial with pppd again. Yes, I'm finding my way through EVDO on Solaris 10! -- Douglas > In fact, if I try to connect it through tip (by > issuing ATDT#777 myself), and afterwards try to > disconnect, I am unable to get to the command mode by > typing +++, but only get the PPP stream all the time. > I think pppd is somehow having the same problem, > though I don't know how to solve it... > This message posted from opensolaris.org
