no /dev/ppp0
 

Trying to set up kppp with a serial modem on arch linux (which uses devfs).

When I load the ppp_generic module (kernel 2.6) a /dev/ppp node pops up, but for the life of me, I cannot get a /dev/ppp0 node.

I have
alias /dev/ppp* ppp_generic

in my modprobe.conf and modprobe.devfs

Without /dev/ppp0 pppd will not start.

Any ideas?

Not sure if this is of any help, but try /dev/ttyS0

that' d be my modem and that's fine. Th problem is that pppd complains it cannot find the interface ppp0.

Thanks for your reply.

As root, try run pppsetup, see if you can get it working through there.

Not to sure about kppp

solved

The answer, I am stupid; did not have ppp_async enabled in the kernel.

Good to see that you solved it :)

I did that too. I hope you like company. :rolleyes:

Later
