[Sheflug] PPP taking two calls to get going.

[Barrie Bremner <nospam [at] ecosse.net>]

 Hi Everyone.

 I`ve been having a niggling problem with ppp recently. When using the
modemlights applet in Gnome I have to tell it twice to bring up ppp0 before it
does actually start the dialling process.

 Here`s a section of my /var/log/messages....I`m a little worried about the
modprobe line.
 Does anyone know what "char-major-108" does?
 
Aug 11 18:21:54 localhost ifup-ppp: pppd started for ppp0 on /dev/modem at
115200
Aug 12 17:15:58 localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-108

University of California

Aug 11 18:22:31 localhost kernel: PPP Deflate Compression module registered 
Aug 11 18:22:32 localhost pppd[709]: local  IP address........and so on.

 Does anyone know how to solve this?

 Baz.
