1. created the /etc/ppp/ip-up and the /etc/ppp/peers/pppoe files;
2. populated the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and the /etc/ppp/chap-secrets files;
3. issued "ip link set eth0 up" (this produced no output on the terminal);
4. issued "pppd call pppoe" and I got:
Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.
RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.3 compiled against pppd 2.4.3
Failed to create PPPoE socket: Address family not supported by protocol
That's because you didn't load the "pppoe" kernel module before following the
instructions.
Hmm, I had disabled "Loadable module support" prior to rebuilding the kernel. This should mean that the PPPoE module is built into
the kernel and is therefore always loaded, right?
