So ppp(8) did insane routing message handling in its sysctl handlers. The
worst thing about them are that their actually not needed and better
replaced with libc functions (getifaddrs and if_nametoindex).
This diff is not haevily tested (my last ppp usage is years ago) so I'm
hopeing people with ppp(8) issues could give this a whirl and see if it
fixes the problems.
Hi,
I built the kernel and userland from yesterday's cvsync and applied the
patch. I tried for the past few hours to get connected to my ISP but
unfortunately haven't been able to test the dial up ppp connection
completely. However, FWIW here is my feedback.
Before applying the patch, I got
load averages: 1.64, 0.78, 0.33

After the patch was applied,
load averages: 1.31, 1.09, 0.57

39 processes: 38 idle, 1 on processor
CPU0 states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt,

I got a dialup account from my ISP to test this out but I am not able to
use a PCMCIA modem -- probably something I am doing is wrong but I don't
unfortunately understand how to get over this hurdle.
From dmesg ..
com3 at pcmcia0 function 0 "MEGAHERTZ, XJ2288, V.34 PCMCIA MODEM" port
0xa3f8/8: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo
com3: probed fifo depth: 0 bytes
However it used to work long time ago. I get the following in my logs
