1) /etc/init.d/net.ippp0 is missing the first line giving the interpreter of the script: #!/sbin/runscript 2) /etc/init.d/net.ippp0 is IMHO missing a dependency: "isdn4linux". Starting net.ippp0 without isdn4linux results in: # /etc/init.d/net.ippp0 start * Loading isdnctrl configuration... [ ok ] * Starting modem-register daemon... [ ok ] * Starting ipppd for ippp0... Sorry - this system lacks PPP kernel support. Check whether you configured at least the ippp0 device! * Failed to start ipppd [ !! ] I will attach a patch for net.ippp0.

Created attachment 51897 [details, diff] adds interpreter and dependency to /etc/init.d/net.ippp0
Stefan, any thoughts?
1. interpreter should be there. Don't know why it was missing. 2. 'isdn4linux' dependency is obsolete since we only have 'isdn' now (at least in current ebuilds) 3. 'ppp' support is missing in your kernel! You need it to use 'ippp'!
fixed in r1
Comment to 3) Comment #3: My kernel has PPP support. The machine does also PPPoE and PPP and I have a ppp0 interface already up when starting net.ippp0. I don't know why it complains about missing PPP support but it is definitively there (loaded as modules). It works if I start isdn4linux manually before net.ippp0.
current isdn4k-utils don't have an 'isdn4linux' init-script, but an 'isdn' init-script. Your 'isdn4linux' may be a leftover and should be removed (if you have 'isdn').
