 |
|
First i had slackware 8.1.0.1 on my server with an usb modem it worked perfectly. I know how to install this modem but under gentoo it don't work i get this nice error/message:
| Code: |
modprobe: modprobe can't locate module ppp0
---ppp0 isn't a module, I've compiled all the ppp modules into the kernel.
ppp0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
|
My question is: I need in dev the interface ppp0. In the howto of speedtouch.sourceforge.net they sai: MAKEDEV ppp, but that don't work. |

you should recompile your kernel... chanege to /usr/src/linux and type in "make menuconfig"... load your old configuration (.config) and go into the subsection "network device section" and activate ppp with M (not with *)... it means, you compile ppp as a module... after that, make dep, make clean, make bzImage, make modules, make modules_install... the whole compilation procedure :-) then you should be able to load the module with modprobe ppp...
just try it and you'll get on!

sorry for the detailed instructions :-)
isn't ippp0 the isdn-device? did you include it in the kernel?
