It looks like it's assumed that > ppp* interface names are reserved for the ppp_driver. > Can the tun interface name be changed to eg. ofono0? actually we are using ppp%d syntax to assign the network interfaces. So the kernel does the numbering. This is a bug in pppd and not ours. Looking at the pppd code, it seems to hardcodes ppp0. So please complain to them for assuming that a certain device name is owned by them. Regards Marcel --===============0811182670165210010==--
