Message-ID: <20080601215621.256db193@boulder.homenet> Date: Sun, 1 Jun 2008 21:56:21 +0100 From: Chris Vine <chris@...ne.freeserve.co.uk> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: pppd and 2.6.25 serial driver Because I have had to resort to using dial-up this weekend, I noticed that the serial driver for the 8250/16550 UART in the 2.6.25 kernel does not work correctly with ppp-2.4.4. After establishing a dial-up modem connection it becomes unresponsive and pppd will exit waiting to establish a ppp connection after sending LCP configuration requests. I have tested this with two different dial-up modems and at two different dial-up providers, with the 2.6.25.3 and 2.6.25.4 kernels. pppd works fine with the 2.6.25 kernel if the serial driver is not used (for example if establishing a ppp connection over (in kernel) ATM or via an (out of kernel tree) softmodem driver I have. The serial driver in 2.6.24.7 works correctly, and the good news is that 2.6.26-rc2 also works fine.
