/usr/sbin/pppd: unrecognized option '/dev/rfcomm0' /dev/rfcomm0 is created dynamically so sometimes it does not exist because the bluetooth connection has failed. For this reason I think baselayout should check if the device given in link_ppp0="/dev/rfcomm0" actually exists.
Can you confirm that it works if /dev/rfcomm0 exists?
(In reply to comment #3) > Can you confirm that it works if /dev/rfcomm0 exists? > it does
Created attachment 83111 [details, diff] test if link exists Please test and report back
Fixed in pre17
