[hcflinux] Log from smartdaa disconnection

[Franki]

look in the install file... it details how to find out whats going on.

you are looking for the info on the lastcallstatus file...

you can add: loglastcallstatus=1 to the end of the hcf options line in
/etc/modules.conf

then the modem will report what the actual error was in the syslog or
/var/log/messages

The line you want to see looks like this:  <TERMINATION
CAUSE=whatever_the_reason_was>
At least that will tell you what the error resulting in the disconnect was..

Also, you didn't mention a pppd error, pppd will give you an error number
when it disconnects..
if you do: man pppd
just after line 1000 is a list of what the modem error numbers mean.. in my
case, it was error 16, which just says:
16 The link was terminated by the modem hanging up.

but you might have a different number.

I had similiar problems with mine, but they seem to be mostly fixed with the
newest driver.. have you loaded the newest driver?

rpm -qa |grep hcf
hcflinmodem-0.91mbsibeta02042500-1_mandrake

regards

Frank

That's what I'm getting on most of my disconnects, still having to reload
modules in between connections.  Also, I'm finding that the modem is failing
to fully hang up - but I hear this is a kppp issue?
