Hi Linaro-dev list,

I'm trying to set up my Pandaboard as a small server using a 3G USB dongle.

I'm trying to set up a PPP connection to my provider, but pppd is complaining: "Couldn't set tty to PPP discipline: Invalid argument"

My google-foo tells me that this could be the result of some disabled kernel configs, speficially PPP_ASYNC and PPP_SYNC_TTY - http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2002/09/msg01810.html

linaro@linarotv-xbmc:/etc/ppp$ grep "PPP" /boot/config-3.1.1-8-linaro-lt-omap CONFIG_PPP=m # CONFIG_PPPOE is not set # CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC is not set # CONFIG_PPP_BSDCOMP is not set # CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE is not set # CONFIG_PPP_FILTER is not set # CONFIG_PPP_MPPE is not set # CONFIG_PPP_MULTILINK is not set # CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY is not set

linaro@linarotv-xbmc:/etc/ppp$ uname -a Linux linarotv-xbmc 3.1.1-8-linaro-lt-omap #8~lt~ci~20120118001257+025756-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 19 09: armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux

Would it be possible to enable these config options in the nightly build so I can try with a new kernel tomorrow? Otherwise I can spend the time to build my own kernel and report back if that's the route you'd rather take.

Cheers, Etienne Le Sueur
