* Nice Update of PPPD support which eliminates the requiremetn that drivers be in the termios TASK_DRIVEN mode. Mike did significant testing and reports that it seems to be more stable and handle larger packets better. This patch replaces the termios tasks with more general pppd network driver tasks. The functions pppinput() and pppstart() get called from the interrupt service routine. * Makefile.am, configure.ac, net/Makefile.am, net/bpf.h, net/ethernet.h, net/if.c, net/if.h, net/if_arp.h, net/if_dl.h, net/if_ethersubr.c, net/if_llc.h, net/if_loop.c, net/if_ppp.h, net/if_pppvar.h, net/if_types.h, net/netisr.h, net/ppp-comp.h, net/ppp_defs.h, net/pppcompress.h, net/radix.c, net/radix.h, net/raw_cb.c, net/raw_cb.h, net/raw_usrreq.c, net/route.c, net/route.h, net/rtsock.c, pppd/Makefile.am, pppd/README, pppd/STATUS, pppd/auth.c, pppd/cbcp.c, pppd/ccp.c, pppd/ccp.h, pppd/chap.c, pppd/chap.h, pppd/chap_ms.c, pppd/chap_ms.h, pppd/chat.c, pppd/demand.c, pppd/fsm.c, pppd/fsm.h, pppd/ipcp.c, pppd/ipcp.h, pppd/ipxcp.c, pppd/ipxcp.h, pppd/lcp.c, pppd/lcp.h, pppd/magic.c, pppd/magic.h, pppd/options.c, pppd/patchlevel.h, pppd/pathnames.h, pppd/pppd.8, pppd/pppd.h, pppd/rtemsmain.c, pppd/rtemspppd.c, pppd/rtemspppd.h, pppd/sys-rtems.c, pppd/upap.c, pppd/upap.h, pppd/utils.c, pppd/example/README, pppd/example/netconfig.h, wrapup/Makefile.am: Modified. * net/bsd-comp.c, net/if_ppp.c, net/ppp-deflate.c, net/ppp.h, net/ppp_tty.c, net/pppcompress.c, net/zlib.c, net/zlib.h: New file. * modem/, modem/.cvsignore, modem/Makefile.am, modem/ppp.c, modem/ppp.h, modem/ppp_tty.c, modem/pppcompress.c: Subdirectory removed.

The pppd application seems to very stable. It has been tested using
|
|
the example application with the i386/pc586 and m68k/sbc5206e BSPs.
|
|
The tests were executed using a null modem serial cable to connect
|
|
with a UNIX box running either the ppp or pppd application and with
|
|
an external modem to dial up a local ISP.
|
|
|
|
If you have problems getting your target to make consistent connections
|
|
with an ISP, the problem is most likely with the ppp options. First
|
|
try using the "novj" and "noaccomp" options. If you have questions
|
|
about what other option values are available for the rtems_pppd_set_option
|
|
function, please look at the pppd.8 man page file or the the source code.
|
|
The majority of options that are documented in man page should work
|
|
with this function call.
|
|
|
|
The pppd code had now been updated to use it's own RTEMS network
|
|
drivers. This removes the requirement for the task driven termios
|
|
support. This update has fixed the large packet ping problem.
|
|
Currently, I do not know of any problems with the port.
|
|
|
|
If you find any other problems or fix some problems, please post your
|
|
changes to the RTEMS mailing list.

Good Luck
