First of all i used :

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 695871 Oct 18 04:07
isdn-9910180206.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5101687 Oct 23 13:00
isdn4k-utils-9910231100.tar.gz

on both 2.2.12 and 2.2.13 kernels.

I noticed ipppd on 2.2.13 was failing at this step :

(line 640 of sys-linux.c on ipppd source )

if (ioctl(sockfd, SIOCADDRT, &rt) < 0) {
int severity;
/*
* It's not fatal IMHO if the route already
exists!
* Give a notice, though...
*/

in the log the following was printed :

Oct 25 22:54:17 localhost ipppd[363]: ioctl(SIOCADDRT) device route
(ippp0/151.99.104.0/ffffff00): Network is down

i forced the severity at LOG_NOTICE by putting an

severity = LOG_NOTICE;

just after the errno test and i was able to connect.

Now , why does it happen on 2.2.13 and not on 2.2.13, with the same
configuration ?
