Re: gprs through usb mobile phone - i386 works / amd64 not

Thanks for tips.

OK, i noticed that the problem is with /etc/ppp/resolv.conf, but 
situation is vice versa. Copying it to /etc/resolv.conf didnt work, 
probably there is a problem with gprs provider's nameservers. I inserted 
opendns nameservers

nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220

and it worked.



Result: The problem is KDE specific, Yes. There is a open bug report in 
kde.org, stating that kppp crashes on FreeBSD amd64 system while it 
works on i386.
