I have an old PIII that sits under my bed doing an impressive impression of a
firewall and router using FC6 and netfilter, I figured, as I've just bought a
new laptop, I could use the old one as a slightly more powerful version of
the above, complete with inbuilt ups...
...so, I copied all the scripts I use (/etc/ppp;/*, the firmware, all the
bits and bobs for the firewall) and installed a fresh copy of F7 on it,
restored all the bits I'd copied and then plugged it in.
It worked as expected, dialled the connection, got an IP address and
connected, I was able to use the net connection for about 15 seconds and then
it disconnected, claiming no response to LCP echos
Then it refused to reconnect, claiming "LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests"
I had to remove and reinsert the USB module to completely restart the
subsystem to get it to connect again, and I got exactly the same result over
and over.
lcp-echo-interval 2
lcp-echo-failure 7
I tried setting the echo-failure to 20, just to see if it'd hold the
connection for the duration, it managed around 30 seconds, then 30 seconds of
being unable to reach anything and then timeout and disconnect
Does anyone know if there's an issue with Fedora 7 and the speedtouch stuff?
I booted up the old box, plugged it all back in and it went back to working
fine...
I have the same issue with the latest FC7 x86_64 kernel. If I use the
stock kernel (2.6.21-1.3194.fc7) from the ISO, works perfectly. Reboot
into the latest yum installed kernel and no joy.
