changes Peer to wildcard ("*")
as described: changes the peer-name into wildcard, so eagle-usb works in
parallel.
Is this really a good idea for general use? I just unwired this change in my own net.ppp0 so that I can have different passwords for different ppp connections without blasting all my passwords to each host I try to connect to... Is it better perhaps to separate the PEER and the remotename? Perhaps it is more appropriate to fix the eagle-usb driver? I'm not sure if the driver is really broken. I just happened to make both modems work with this hack. I don't even have the modem anymore, and the bug might be fixed already... the actual net.ppp0 will be replaced by a new ppp net module of the upcoming baselayout. this bug will remain open until net.ppp0 will be removed. the net.ppp0 has been removed in net-dialup/ppp-2.4.3-r10, which will become stable at the same moment with sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0 FYI: now all kinds of PPP connections (serial, PPPoE, PPPoA) are handled by the pppd net module found in >=sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_pre11. |
