Hello! I dig through recent archives but found nothing similar except to: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ppp&m=110667783629803&w=2 but I'm not sure whether this could still be a problem with recent snapshot or not...
Anyway... Not so long ago debian's pppd switched from 2.4.2 based to 2.4.3 based and my problem with persist options have begun. After modem power down-up, ppp tries to reconnect, but fails and exits. I reported it already to Debian bug tracking system, but was suggested to ask here as well. Versions (marked as in Debian) tested with my 2.6.11ac4 kernel: 2.4.2 +20040428 -6 works 2.4.3 +20041231 -[12] fails 2.4.3 +20050321 -1 fails Not to spam list too much I put relevant part of system logs and strace logs here: 1. http://zeus.polsl.gliwice.pl/~jfk/ppp/log_bad.txt (2.4.3, system log) 2. http://zeus.polsl.gliwice.pl/~jfk/ppp/log_good.txt (2.4.2, system log) 3. http://zeus.polsl.gliwice.pl/~jfk/ppp/strace_bad.txt (2.4.3, strace) 4. http://zeus.polsl.gliwice.pl/~jfk/ppp/strace_good.txt (2.4.2, strace) More inline details: Ad 2: 11:38:21 pppd[23601]: Couldn't get channel number: Input/output error <---- power back, I guess 11:38:22 pppd[23601]: tcgetattr: No such device or address (line 909) <---- ??? absent in 2.4.2 11:38:22 kernel: eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1 <---- power is surely up 11:38:23 pppd[23601]: Exit.
