Re: how do i create device ppp0 on commandline?



Sorry I don't know what superrescue is... Maybe you should just
download the newest rp-pppoe - I have rp-pppoe-3.5 from
roaringpenguin.com.  It will make a pppoe.conf for you.  What is the
output of #dmesg?
Here is mine (the relevant parts), but be aware I have the support
compiled into the kernel, not as loadable modules...  You can also run
lsmod and see if you have the ppp drivers loaded, to me it looks like
you are up and running ok, though, I can ping you (I think that is you
at 213.13.200.110), try to confirm your DNS setting.

#dmesg  ---relevant portions---
Linux Tulip driver version 0.9.15-pre9 (Nov 6, 2001)
PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:09.0
tulip0:  MII transceiver #1 config 3000 status 7829 advertising 01e1.
eth0: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC rev 32 at 0xd8800000, 00:A0:CC:DA:AF:86, IRQ

P.S. - you can try pinging me at 138.89.32.80
