Bob,
I see from this old (unanswered) posting of yours that you had "Nonzero exit status
(7) on command '/sbin/route add 207.69.188.11
metric 2000 dev sl0" etc coming out of diald, with a 2.2 kernel. I have the same
thing, and moreover my diald is dying when this
happens - sometimes leaving pppd running.
How did you resolve it? I'm completely stumped. I suspect something wrong with my
routing setup. I just did a ifconfig -a and a route
-nv (with a dead diald the link down) and there seemed to be a lot of duplication in
there. I restarted and restopped diald and it
seems to have got rid of the duplicate slip routes but I still have two duplicate ppp0
routes in there. If I restart diald again (link
still down) I now see two ppp0 routes and three
sl0 routes!
I also get lots of error messages like "kernel: sl0: transmit timed out, bad line
quality?"
Somebody please help!
