Ah, this is good news, I recently upgraded from Suse 8.2 (Lunux 2.4.x)
to Suse 9.1 (Linux 2.6.4) and the latest modem_run from CVS.
The kernel module worked fine, but modem_run failed to work correctly. I
tracked down the problem as being with the mutex handling, and applied
the very dodgy hack at the end of my email to get myself back online... :)
The rest of my setup from Suse 8.2 seemed to work, except when pppd was
started first time I got:
Oct 3 11:41:41 linda pppd[9077]: pppd 2.4.2 started by root, uid 0
Oct 3 11:41:41 linda pppd[9077]: ioctl(ATM_SETBACKEND): No such device
Which was solved by "modprobe pppoatm". Is there any way to make pppoatm
get loaded automatically?
John.
