Repost of a Debian Woody/pppoe question from debian-users
Please note that I had initially posted this on the debian-user list but it
was indicated to me that this question should probably be asked here. Has
anyone else had success using pppoe while running debian woody on a
netwinder? I'm using the following packages.. ppp_2.4.1.uus-1_arm.deb and
pppoe_3.3-1_arm.deb and running the 2.4.16-rmk1 kernel.
I'm pretty sure it's a problem with my Debian configuration because I
have no connectivity problems using Windows or a Netwinder(running a
modified version of redhat). Can someone please take a look at the
errors / my configuration files and point out what I'm doing wrong?
My /etc/network/interfaces file says this..
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
Does that look right? I had previously compiled and tried the latest
rp-pppoe source distribution (before I learned of the debian pppoe
package)and I remember reading that no interfaces(attached to the adsl
modem) should be brought up at boot time or configured at all. I don't
remember reading that in any of the debian's pppoe documentation.. either
way, I've tried it both ways and still experience the same problem.
I've set up pppoe numerous times before on linux and bsd so I know I'm
overlooking something really small but I just can't put my finger on it. Any
hints or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
