I've just spent several hours trying permutations to get ADSL to connect |
| 2 |
after updating to Baselayout-1.12.0 & Ppp-2.4.3 . |
| 3 |
I've read /etc/conf.d/net.example & copied what seem the needed lines : |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
config_eth0=( "192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255" ) |
| 6 |
config_ppp0=( "ppp" ) |
| 7 |
link_ppp0="eth0" |
| 8 |
plugins_ppp0=( "pppoe" ) |
| 9 |
username_ppp0='user@isp' |
| 10 |
pppd_ppp0=( "updetach" "noauth" "defaultroute" "usepeerdns" "persist" ) |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I've also made the symlink : 'cd /etc/init.d ; ln -s net.lo net.ppp0'. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
There are no boot error msgs, the "start eth0" line returns "ok" |
| 15 |
& the "start ntpd" line also says "ok", but the connection isn't made. |
| 16 |
The 1st "ok" comes back very quickly -- 2 - 3 seconds -- , |
| 17 |
whereas a successful connection normally takes 10 seconds. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I have no problem when I return to using Rp-pppoe-3.8 |
| 20 |
(after changing to my old version of 'net' & removing the symlink). |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
When I emerged Ppp-2.4.3 it gave warnings that I do not have |
| 23 |
CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE & CONFIG_PPP_BSDCOMP in my kernel (2.6.14). |
| 24 |
Before I recompile the kernel, can anyone confirm that might be the problem ? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
There's nothing useful on the Forum & I've exhausted my own thoughts: |
| 27 |
does anyone have any other useful suggestions ? |
