Hello, I just upgraded a system from 2.4.22 to 2.4.23. However I can't get pppd to work anymore. When I initiate the pppoe connection with "pppd eth0", pppd freezes on the command line. After a while it exits. The syslog receives a Nov 30 17:05:58 spot pppd[317]: Failed to negotiate PPPoE connection: 25 Inappropriate ioctl for device Nov 30 17:05:58 spot pppd[317]: Exit. I also found these messages: Nov 30 17:09:54 spot pppd[585]: Plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.1/pppoe.so loaded. Nov 30 17:10:14 spot pppd[585]: PPPoE Plugin Initialized Nov 30 17:10:23 spot kernel: request_module[escape]: fork failed, errno 1 Nov 30 17:10:23 spot pppd[585]: tdb_store failed: Success Nov 30 17:10:43 spot kernel: request_module[escape]: fork failed, errno 1 Nov 30 17:10:53 spot pppd[586]: tdb_store key failed: Success Nov 30 17:11:13 spot kernel: request_module[crtscts]: fork failed, errno 1 I've attached an strace of pppd in case someone can spot something useful there. Has there been any fundamental changes from .22->.23 in the pppoe driver? I've also attached the .config of the kernel in case there is some new option I missed? Any pointers would be appreciated.
