I try to make a dummy interface for my machine by using:
ifconfig dummy whocare.cs.mcgill.ca
and got the error message:
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
and of course , I do the route add by:
route add whocare.cs.mcgill.ca
and got the error message:
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
I try many ways to make it, never sucess. Is there some body know what the error message
means?
I doubt two possiblity:
1. kernel 2.0.30-3 have the bug
2. something wrong with my modem configuration. but I can use my modem to dial out and connect to
our frame server by SLIP without any problem.
my modem is in COM2, every time bootup I got the message like:
Serial driver version 4.13 with no serial options enabled
and when I try to do:
/bin/setserial /dev/cua1 auto_irq skip_test autoconfig
I got:
Cannot autoconfigure port: Device or resource busy
Thank you for any help
