[gentoo-user] pppd and adsl

2006-04-23 Thread Chen Yufei
I use adsl to connect to the internet and I use rp-pppoe in the past. But I found in the /etc/conf.d/net.example that the rp-pppoe module is being deprecated in favour of the PPP module. So I tried to use ppp to dialup the adsl connection and succeeded. But I have 2 questions now. (1) Why

Gentoo does use rp-pppoe to connect. It just does it when bringing up eth0 directly. No, since baselayout-1.12*, gentoo uses ppp and ppp's pppoe-plugin. rp-pppoe is not needed anymore! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
