how can i get the sl0 device out of my ifconfig??

[abraxas@debian]

Hi!

Yes ... my first poasting *gg*.

Ok, my prob: I'm useing a analog-modem to connect to the internet. I don't know why, but when I start my system there is alway's a so-called sl0-device in my ifconfig. And all Traffic will route over that. But I don't need such a interface! So I must become root, then doing a "ifconfig down sl0" and all works fine when i'm connecting to the internet.

Without that ping and such programs can't access my modem or so. With other word, I can't ping anythink when this strange sl0-device is still in ifconfig.

Any ideas???

Its probably being set up in you startup files. Im not familar with debian but they might be in the /etc/rc.d directory and comment out where the sl0 device is being start up.

thx for your response!

yes, in the /etc/init.d dir. The script is called "diald". When it runs the sl0-device will be created. Debian use System-V initialisation so the only thing I've got to do was to delete the link in /etc/rc2.d (because the default runlevel is 2).

Now, all works fine *gg*.
