[ts-7000] Pppd With USB Modem

[Dan Nelson <>]

I'm having trouble getting pppd to work with a Sierra Wireless MC8775
USB modem.  The platform is TS-Linux on the TS-7400.

When I used the built in kernel I got an error saying that ppp wasn't
supported in the kernel and that I should load ppp.o.  But there is no
ppp.o even when the kernel is configured with ppp as a module.  So I
built the kernel with ppp configured as part of the kernel.  Now I get a
"connect script failed" error from pppd.  It looks to me like pppd is
not talking to the USB port.  I've manually loaded the USB modules and I
think that the USB is working okay because dmesg shows that the generic
USB serial converter is attached.  I've also loaded all the modules in
the net directory including ppp_async.o but still with no luck.  Is
there some other module I need to load?  I have noticed that the
ppp_deflate.o comes up with symbol table errors when I try to load it,
but I'm not sure if it's necessary anyway.

Thanks
Dan
