Re: 2.2.17 kernel and pppoe?
Hello,
I am using kernel 2.2.17 with PPPoE and everything works fine. I am
also using version 2.3 of the roaring penguin software. However, I
never had kernel 2.2.15 installed, I had the default potato 2.2.17pre6
(everything worked with it as well) and then upgraded to 2.2.17. So
unless there's a difference between 2.2.15 and 2.2.17 that you haven't
accounted for (PPP module or some such) I have no clue as to what it's
not working for you. BTW, I'm using Mindspring (aka Earthlink).
Good luck
