As title...
I connect to the internet using wvdial. When I launch wvdial, after a series of operations (including thesending of the strings, etc...), I found:
starting pppd ...
pid of pppd ...
using interface ppp0 ...
local ip address ...
remote ip address ...
primary dns address ...
secondary dns address ...
This is a succesful session.
In practise, I found a successful session only the first time I set up my conenction. When I restart the computer, wvdial works no more. It stops before using ppp0 interface. The last lines I found are:
starting pppd ...
pid of pppd ...
and nothing else. I presume it's a problem in using ppp0 interface.
I tried: ifconfig -a, and I said ppp0 is not present. I tried: ifconfig ppp0 up, but I receive unknown interface, no such device. I tried: /etc/rc.d/ppp restart, but I received errors.
I can't understand... What I have to do for enabling ppp0 interface?
Which modules, interfcaes, daemons etc I have to insert in rc.conf? (I already tried several combinations...).
I found no help online. It seems ppp is not so popular among arch linux comunity :-(

I know there has been a ppp and rp-pppoe update, pacman said this:
[2010-02-14 14:25] upgraded ppp (2.4.4-9 -> 2.4.5-1)
[2010-02-14 14:25] >>> The kernel-mode plugin has a new place.
[2010-02-14 14:25] >>> It's now located under /usr/lib/rp-pppoe/rp-pppoe.so
[2010-02-14 14:25] >>> Change LINUX_PLUGIN to the new path in your /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf
[2010-02-14 14:25] upgraded rp-pppoe (3.10-2 -> 3.10-4)

This can explain the problem...
In fact, everything works the first time I set up my connection, while problems arise after reboot. And before reboot, what I did was upgrading. Umh... I try to upgrade ppp. Let's see :-)
Thanks for the help ;-)

If you are making adsl connections, better to just use rp-pppoe (I have no experience of wvdial). Just run the pppoe-setup script to configure your connection. Once it is set up you can start it using /etc/rc.d/adsl start (and stop). It will start the ppp0 interface. And you can put adsl in your daemon array in rc.conf to start the connection on boot.

It's a GPRS conenction using a mobile phone. Every guide I found onlin etalk about wvdial, so it's the reason I use such a script.

I update both ppp and rp-pppoe, but problem remains.
This is my dmesg | tail:
(some rows, then)

pl2303: prolific pl2303 USB to serial adaptor driver

and this is the last lines of messages.log (it's like the other, except it has a new last line)

Were you able to solve this problem because I end up with the same problem.
The modem is fully functional but the interface is not created "ppp0"
