[gentoo-user] pppoe connect problem after updates

[gentoo-user] pppoe connect problem after updates

[Philip Webb]

I've just spent several hours trying permutations to get ADSL to connect
after updating to Baselayout-1.12.0 & Ppp-2.4.3 .
I've read  /etc/conf.d/net.example  & copied what seem the needed lines :

  config_eth0=( "192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255" )
  config_ppp0=( "ppp" )
  link_ppp0="eth0"
  plugins_ppp0=( "pppoe" )
  username_ppp0='user@isp'
  pppd_ppp0=( "updetach" "noauth" "defaultroute" "usepeerdns" "persist" )

I've also made the symlink : 'cd /etc/init.d ; ln -s net.lo net.ppp0'.

There are no boot error msgs, the "start eth0" line returns "ok"
& the "start ntpd" line also says "ok", but the connection isn't made.
The 1st "ok" comes back very quickly -- 2 - 3 seconds -- ,
whereas a successful connection normally takes 10 seconds.

I have no problem when I return to using Rp-pppoe-3.8
(after changing to my old version of 'net' & removing the symlink).

When I emerged Ppp-2.4.3 it gave warnings that I do not have
 CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE  &  CONFIG_PPP_BSDCOMP  in my kernel (2.6.14).
Before I recompile the kernel, can anyone confirm that might be the problem ?

There's nothing useful on the Forum & I've exhausted my own thoughts:
does anyone have any other useful suggestions ?

your config looks  not  correct,  I remember there should be  a line  like
something ( "adsl") in it, my config contains no more than three lines.
we might have different version though, just follow the gentoo guide
regarding to this topic, it really make sense.

I don't exactly know how that works, wrong parameters, I think.

I think  you must already have  chosen the  PPPOE option while compile the
kernel, otherwise, the previous version might not work properly either,
Nevertheless, you may check option within that warning in your kernel config
file to make sure.

I recompiled the Kernel (2.6.14) to add the  2  compression types
& still get no success connecting using PPP alone.
Syslog gives the following (omitting date + 'localhost') :

using PPP alone : fails

Before I submit a bug report, does anyone have any suggestions ?
