First off, let me apologize now for this long message as I tried to put
as much information as possible without overdoing it by adding anything
irrelevant.
Ok, I'm at my wits end here. I've been playing with the config files I
have for the past two weeks now with a certain level of success but now
I'm stumped big time.
I had used diald before with a slip setup and I've recently setup my
system to use the tap device. I'm using the same config files that worked
with the slip connection. Right now, diald launches no problem,
<diald string from QPS>
/usr/sbin/diald -file /usr/lib/diald/generic.diald connect /usr/sbin/chat
-v -r /etc/ppp/report-chat -f /etc/ppp/generic.chat pidfile diald_1.pid
--file /etc/ppp/generic.options
it sits idle waiting for a network call of some sort, I launch ping or
something and chat launches,
<chat string from QPS>
/usr/sbin/chat -v -r /etc/ppp/report-chat -f /etc/ppp/generic.chat
chat dials the ISP, makes the connection and then launches pppd
<pppd string from QPS>
/usr/sbin/pppd -defaultroute -detach modem crtscts mtu 576 mru 576 file
/etc/ppp/generic.options
but nothing ever happens, my ping is never returned, ftp, telnet never
work and eventually it just times-out after I quit the ping process and
waits for another attempt.
If I make the connection with wvdial, it works fine. Though the pppd
string is slightly different
<wvdial pppd string from QPS>
modem crtscts defaultroute usehostname -detach user Login noipdefault call
wvdial
ping, ftp, telnet all work fine at this point. Console F10 shows no
problems but there are several entries in /var/log/messages that give me
indications that there are problems, but not what the problems are. There's
a bunch of `sent [IPCP ConfReq` `sent [CCP ConfReq` `rcvd [LCP ConfReq`
sorta lines before the connection is finally established, then I receive
the all go lines
pppd[32683]: local IP address 206.132.221.183
pppd[32683]: remote IP address 206.132.221.5
followed by the following
diald[32677]: start ppp0: SIOCSIFMETRIC: Operation not supported
when I kill the connection attempt and then kill diald I see the following
outputs
diald[32677]: Closing down idle link.
diald[32677]: start tap0: SIOCSIFMETRIC: Operation not supported
pppd[32683]: Terminating on signal 2.
