LiveJournal as archive
May. 27th, 2003 09:23 pmThis weekend, I went through and updated the software on my machine, including getting a new release of the modem driver for my computer from intel's website. You can see where this is going, right?
Well, the driver update caused ppp to stop working. After seeing the problem occur a few times a vague memory of finding and fixing this problem with the old modem driver software began to surface. Unfortunately, I'd already completely wiped out all copies of the old driver, so I had to figure out from scratch how to fix this.
This time, I'm documenting in LiveJournal how I got my stupid cheap no-brand modem (but based intel's 536ep chipset) to behave with ppp in linux. Next time I forget and accidentally wipe out the fixed version, I'll just look back at my livejournal and say "ah, that was how I did it."
