Re: Dynamic IP but DNS static (3g connection)

[Xavier Callejas <xavier wflogistics com>]

Hi,

I built ppp from git repo. but NM complains about 
its '/usr/lib/pppd/2.4.4/nm-pppd-plugin.so not being compatible with the 
version 2.4.5 (ppp from git).

But I also found a patch just for this DNS bogus problem:

http://osdir.com/ml/linux.ppp/2007-11/msg00006.html

I patched ppp and now it works OK, but the patch requires using 
the "ipcp-max-failure" pppd option; I have made test using kppp and works 
good.

But I prefer NW than kppp.

Now ... how can I tell NM to pass this parameter to pppd ???

Thanks.

BTW ... in 'nm-applet' (gnome) I didn't found any option to use static DNS 
configuration either (openSUSE 11).
