Advice on hotplug problem

Hello,

I'm trying to use an Alcatel USB ADSL modem to connect to my Internet Provider here in the UK. I've recompiled the kernel, added the modules and am using the correct pppd daemon to support transport. The whole thing is ALMOST working, but not quite. Whenever I try to bring up the ppp0 interface, hotplug seems to fail with an /etc/hotplug/net.<something> error, "Register Event not handled"

I was wondering if anyone could possibly shed any light on what could be causing this?

If oyu need any more information pls just give me a shout

Thanks in advance

Probably you just have an old verion of the hotplug scripts, or don't have "/sbin/ifup" in your distro. Don't worry; there's nothing the hotplug code can do for ppp anyway, since those interfaces are initialized curiously. (Nobody does an "ifconfig ppp0 up".)

Dave,

I've checked my version of the hotplug script and I'm using the latest version from sourceforge. I definitely do NOT have ifup installed with my distro, but without it, I am unable to bring up my ADSL connection. Can you offer any advice on this?

Thanks

Darren
