Advice on hotplug problem

Advice on hotplug problem

[Darren Paxton]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 649 bytes --]

Hello,

I'm trying to use an Alcatel USB ADSL modem to connect to my Internet
Provider here in the UK. I've recompiled the kernel, added the modules and
am using the correct pppd daemon to support transport. The whole thing is
ALMOST working, but not quite. Whenever I try to bring up the ppp0
interface, hotplug seems to fail with an /etc/hotplug/net.<something> error,
"Register Event not handled"

I was wondering if anyone could possibly shed any light on what could be
causing this?

If oyu need any more information pls just give me a shout

Thanks in advance

Darren

Probably you just have an old verion of the hotplug scripts,
or don't have "/sbin/ifup" in your distro.  Don't worry; there's
nothing the hotplug code can do for ppp anyway, since
those interfaces are initialized curiously.  (Nobody does
an "ifconfig ppp0 up".)

Thanks, I'll check my versions of what I'm running. 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 :-(

Dave,

I've checked my version of the hotplug script and I'm using the latest
version from sourceforge. I definitely do NOT have ifup installed with my
distro, but without it, I am unable to bring up my ADSL connection. Can you
offer any advice on this?

Thanks

Darren

Only to suggest one of the ADSL howtos or faqs; the
problem you have doesn't really relate to hotplug.
