Since I upgraded to diald 0.99.1, I have been receiving the messages "sl0:
xmit call when iface is down" each time traffic comes through to cause diald
to establish the dial out link. Once the connection is online, the messages
stop. This message is from slip.c in linux/drivers/net of the linux source.
The problem arose after switching from version 0.16.5 to 0.99.1 I've since
switched back as it has become annoying. I recently stumbled across a
README.masq in the source directly indicating some things that need to be
done via scripts to set up the routes if using with IP Masquerading. It
hints at what needs to be done in diald.conf but no examples on what
actually needs to be done in the scripts. I believe this change has
something to do with the kernel emitting the sl0: xmit ... message. Could
anyone who is using 0.99.1 and IP masquerading point me to the appropriate
place where more info on such a setup is available or better yet, explain
exactly what needs to be done in the scripts. The setup I have is very
basic. Diald is used to connect on demand from client workstations to a
linux 2.0.37 server for internet access via IP masquerading. ISP assigns
dynamic local IP addresses. Any help would be very much appreciated. My
diald.conf works fine with 0.16.5 and 0.99.1 except that in the latter case,
the messages appear when a trigger is received prior to the link being
established.
