1 Hi,
2
3 I needed to set up ppp and rp-pppoe during install, to connect to my isp (adsl)
4 to complete installation. This worked fine, I just needed to type the command:
5 mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0
6 after installing the 2 packages to get pppoe to work. The problem is, after
7 downloading & compiling the kernel (with ppp support compiled in), setting up
8 my other network card, and rebooting, pppoe no longer works. I've tried
9 uninstalling/reinstalling ppp & rp-pppoe, emerging them, fiddling with network
10 settings, all to no avail. The error I consistently get is:
11 ...
12 Couldn't set tty to PPP discipline: Invalid argument
13 Waiting for 1 child processes...
14 script /usr/sbin/pppoe -p /var/run/pppoe.conf-adsl.pid.pppoe -I eth1 -T 80 -U -m 1412 -D /tmp/pppoe-debug-1373/pppoe-debug.txt-0, pid 1432
15 pppoe: read (asyncReadFromPPP): Input/output error
16 Script /usr/sbin/pppoe -p /var/run/pppoe.conf-adsl.pid.pppoe -I eth1 -T 80 -U -m 1412 -D /tmp/pppoe-debug-1373/pppoe-debug.txt-0 finished (pid 1432), status = 0x100
17 ...

19 when I run
20 DEBUG=1 adsl-start
21
22 I really like what I've seen of Gentoo so far, I would like to sort this
23 problem out so that I can download and install the rest of the system.

25 Thanks,
