Hello all,
I keep having a problem with ppp, I use a ppp dial up connection to connect
to the internet,
futhermore i use mldonkey to transfer files on the ed2k network.
I turns out that when the connection is dropped for various reasons I guess
(once a week of once per
few days). the fllowing messages appears in the messageslog:
kernel: unregister_netdevice: waiting for ppp0 to become free. Usage count =
1
I am not able to restart my network or to kill the ppp connection (which is
not functioning anymore)
untill I kill mldonkey, after the killing of the process. The device
unregisters and the connection resumes.
Has anybody expierenced this problem before, any clues how to deal with
this, I had no problems on
Redhat 8.0 on 2.4 so this is kernel related???
Goede Dag Fons!
Try upgrading to the latest kernel. I had this particular problem on a
previous kernel, but it almost vanished on kernel 435.
While running on 435 I experienced this scenario only once so far otherwise
it's stable for 11 days now (I upgraded on June, 14th)
Cheers,
Hannes.
