Hello! My Dell Inspiron 1000 laptop is reported to have a working |
| 2 |
winmodem with Slackware here: |

According to the article, the modem's driver can be built into the kernel via: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Sound -> |
| 10 |
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture -> |
| 11 |
PCI Devices -> |
| 12 |
Intel/SiS/nVidia/AMD MC97 Modem (EXPERIMENTAL) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I have ppp_generic and ppp_async built as modules and autoloaded. I |
| 15 |
have slmodem emerged, but is that necessary with the kernel driver? I |
| 16 |
have net-dialup/ppp-2.4.2-r10 emerged like this: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
-activefilter |
| 19 |
-atm |
| 20 |
-dhcp |
| 21 |
-ipv6 |
| 22 |
-mppe-mppc |
| 23 |
+pam |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
When I try to '/etc/init.d/net.ppp0 start' I get: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
* Bringing ppp0 up ... |
| 28 |
SIOCDELRT: No such process [ ok ] |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
but I don't hear any dialing and subsequent ping attempts just say |
| 31 |
"unknown host". Also, a subsequent '/etc/init.d/net.ppp0 stop' says: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
* Bringing ppp0 down ... |
| 34 |
* Interface seems to be down already [ ok ] |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
I can get rid of the 'SIOCDELRT: No such process' error if I change to: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
DEFROUTE="no" |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
in '/etc/conf.d/net.ppp0'. That option is defined as "Must pppd set |
| 41 |
the default route?". |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Lastly, I need to use a special script that my ISP (GlobalDialUp.com) |
| 44 |
provides. How can I incorporate that? |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
If I can get this working my troubles will be over! |
