Subject: ioctl(ppp_dev_fd, PPPIOCSCOMPRESS, (caddr_t) &data) fails
Date: Sat, 12 Nov 2005 18:03:23 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <43762E6B.5020108@permeable.com> (raw)
My working vpn connection stopped working "suddenly". I did some testing
and discovered that the call:
ioctl(ppp_dev_fd, PPPIOCSCOMPRESS, (caddr_t) &data)
in ccp_test() in sys-linux.c in pppd always returns EINVAL.
My kernel, 2.6.10-gentoo-r6, has MPPE compiled in, not as a module.
The ppp_dev_fd has a value of "22" which seems reasonable. So it
appears that PPPIOCSCOMPRESS is invalid. Huh?
I am using Gentoo ppp-2.4.3-r9.
This has been working fine for months. I have tried rebooting, both
cold and warm. I've tried rebuilding ppp-2.4.3-r9. I've tried
ppp-2.4.2-r15. My vpn provider says that nothing has changed on their side.
Any ideas why that ioctl should fail and how to fix it?
