Jetson Orin Nano Jetpack 6.0 Missing ppp kernel

[Jafra]

Hello,

I am using JetPack 6.0 on a Jetson Orin Nano, installed with the SDK manager.

I am trying to reach internet connection through a USB modem, i configure the /etc/wvdial.conf correctly as it shows:

New PPD = yes
Stupid Mode = 1
Modem Type = 4G Modem
Baud = 460800
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB2
ISDN = 0

Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = AT+CGDCONT=1,“IP”,“ac.vodafone.es”
Phone = 99**1#
Username = wap@wap

When i launch wvdial as root this is what i get:

→ WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61
→ Initializing modem.
→ Sending: ATZ
OK
→ Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1,“IP”,“ac.vodafone.es”
OK
→ Modem initialized.
→ Sending: ATDT99**1#
→ Waiting for carrier.
CONNECT 220000000
→ Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately.
→ Starting pppd at Thu May 30 16:16:48 2024
→ Pid of pppd: 4380
→ Disconnecting at Thu May 30 16:16:48 2024
→ The PPP daemon has died: No ppp module error (exit code = 4)
→ man pppd explains pppd error codes in more detail.
→ I guess that’s it for now, exiting
→ The PPP daemon has died. (exit code = 4)

My kernel version is 5.15.136-tegra.

I tried with nm-connection-editor also, but i got the same result:

Thank you in advance

Hi,
For Jetpack 6.0GA, we align with upstream kernel and if the configs are not enabled by default, you would need to manually enable it. Please refer to kernel section in developer guide:

Kernel — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation

FYI, if you match the current kernel config (including CONFIG_LOCALVERSION), and build the driver as a module, then you only need to perform a file copy and “sudo depmod -a” to install this (I don’t know the exact PPP requirement, you’d have to find out which kernel symbol…the driver name…is needed).
