Hi people,
SpeedTouch stop working since last year (if I remember correctly, around
April - May).
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=usb/83504
BTW I found a workaround that works in RELENG_6 and HEAD (I tested it in
HEAD
but I think it will work on RELENG_6).
I suppose that threads of modem_run occupy the usb device. After
modem_run, kill it!
And then you can call ppp -background your_profile without crash ;-)
Summary:
modem_run -f mgmt.o
---> killall modem_run <---
ppp -background -nat your_profile
For unbreak pppoa in HEAD substitute this:
+ *-freebsd[56]*)
with
+ *-freebsd[567]*)
and remove from Makefile:
.if ${OSVERSION} >= 700000
BROKEN= "Does not build on FreeBSD >= 7.0"
.endif
