OK. I recently upgraded my kernel to 2.6.1 but so far have been unsuccessful in getting my Speedtouch 330 ADSL modem to work.
Get good news is I think I've finally worked out what the problem is and just need confirmation that my plan will work. During my near frantic debugging to work out how to get the modem to work I created /dev/ppp woth mknod (yes I am using devfs!). It appears that this silly action is now the cause of my problem. /dev/ppp appears to have the incorrect major, minor numbers. I have tried to delete /dev/ppp but everytime I try this I get "rm: Operation not permitted". I am presuming that the reason for this is because the kernel module ppp_generic is attached to this file/device. So my plan is to unload the module 'modprobe -r ppp_generic' then delete the file 'rm -f /dev/ppp' and the reload the module 'modprobe ppp_generic'. Does this sound like a sane plan? Anyone else have a similar problem and if so was this how you fixed it? -- Cheers Dg -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
