hi! I have a problem with the direct PPPoE connection to my ISP. I have a realtek 8139 NIC and wrote ether=type=rtl8139 in my plan9.ini. The kernel knows my NIC at startup. Until there everything is allright.
There is no /net/ipifc/0 when the system just started and when I go on and type: ip/pppoe -dP ndb/cs ndb/dns -r the error gets reproted in my ppp logfile. PPPoE cannot write the IP. That is clear to me, because the interface is not up. If I bind the ether0 manually ( echo bind ether /net/ether0 > /net/ ipifc/clone) a "0" interface gets created. But PPPoE creates another one "1". when I cat status of "1" there is no ether device. Under "1" everything is there. Also my dynamic IP adress, there is just no device for all that stuff... What can I do to tell ip/pppoe to just use my formerly created "0" interface? Thanks for your help. lancaster
