The problem with my net connection is that alcatel have only released drivers for the modem, and someone has written a HOWTO on getting them running. This involves editing the /etc/ppp/options file with all the required parameters and then basically typing pppd to launch. This is when it fails :-( -- Darren Paxton IT & Network Support Leonardo & Company +44 141 400 9032 -----Original Message----- From: David Brownell [mailto:david-b@pacbell.net] Sent: 05 April 2001 16:12 To: Darren Paxton; linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: Advice on hotplug problem Probably you just have an old verion of the hotplug scripts, or don't have "/sbin/ifup" in your distro.
