Hello,
With the helping hand of someone in freebsd-mobile list I've hacked
the 'uftdi' driver to support a PCMCIA card provided by Vodafone
for UMTS. The card works now as it should but the IPCP negotiating
of the pppd 2.3.11 (from ports collection) ends up in:
...
sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x6 <addr 10.227.149.188>]
rcvd [IPCP ConfReq id=0x4b]
sent [IPCP ConfAck id=0x4b]
rcvd [IPCP ConfAck id=0x6 <addr 10.227.149.188>]
Could not determine remote IP address
sent [IPCP TermReq id=0x7 "Could not determine remote IP address"]
rcvd [IPCP TermAck id=0x7]
I picked up another Linux driven notebook to compare it with Linux
(because I've used the same PCMCIA card in Linux for some monthes)
and it turned out that the IPCP negotiating is ending up the
same way but the Linux pppd picks up some guessed remote IP address
and just put this into the ppp0 interface and the things are fine:
rcvd [IPCP ConfReq id=0x4]
sent [IPCP ConfNak id=0x4 <addr 0.0.0.0>]
rcvd [IPCP ConfNak id=0x4 <addr 10.227.222.211> <ms-dns1 139.7.30.125> <ms-dns3
139.7.30.126>]
sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x5 <addr 10.227.222.211> <ms-dns1 139.7.30.125> <ms-dns3
139.7.30.126>]
rcvd [IPCP ConfAck id=0x5 <addr 10.227.222.211> <ms-dns1 139.7.30.125> <ms-dns3
139.7.30.126>]
rcvd [IPCP ConfReq id=0x5]
sent [IPCP ConfAck id=0x5]
Could not determine remote IP address: defaulting to 10.64.64.64
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

# ifconfig ppp0

It seems that this feature does not exist in FreeBSD's pppd or
I'm missing something else?
Thx
