Site News :: DSL 4.2.3

Oh, I didn't know it was that old, since that option has been changed for some time now..
Try --hide-rr-moved

I don't think they changed the option... they probably just removed "autocomplete". I think it was always --hide-rr-moved.

Someone else reported that the dial up connection did not work until they entered a route command to manually enter a gateway.

I guess that would have been me. I believe (although I haven't tested) that it may be related to the fact that I'm connected to a local network through eth0, and that device is kept as the default even after the dialup connection succeeds. The manual setting of ppp0 as the default device has been something I've needed to do in DSL from the start, and was also needed on my Slackware system. I don't think it's specific to DSL...might just be the way pppd works.

I connect to the net with my laptop in four forms, and every form directly without more adjustments, because the connections are through pcmcia cards that are detected during the boot of DSL.
So at home I utilize the eth0 pcmcia directly or the wifi pcmcia.
In other places the 56k modem pcmcia with dialup connection, and finally during some travels with the bluetooth pcmcia to connect through my mobiltelephone
In no case I have connected two of the pcmcias at the same time, so there are no conflicts during the detection and connection to the net.

Is the kernel used for 4.x the same as the one used for 2.x?
Specifically, does the nvidia driver that works for DSL 2.x now work for the current DSL?
