ppp0 fails to start at boot, only when pppoeconf is ran
When I reboot Debian Sarge, kernel 2.6.7, ppp0 fails with this message:
pppd[4989]: Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.
pppd[4989]: Linux kernel does not support PPPoE -- are you running 2.4.x?
pppd[4989]: Exit.
After booting up, starting it also fails with the same message. I have
to reconfigure ppp0 with
#> pppoeconf
and then ppp0 starts and stops properly without any problems (with 'pon
dsl-provider' and 'poff -a' commands respectively). What could be wrong?
$> dpkg -l pppoe* hal udev | grep '^ii'
ii pppoe 3.5-4 PPP over Ethernet driver
ii pppoeconf 1.0.11 configures PPPoE/ADSL connections
ii hal 0.2.98-6 Hardware Abstraction Layer
ii udev 0.040-1 /dev/ management daemon
Suggestions?
