Friends-
I've stared at this problem for several hours now and
must admit I'm missing something very important but
can't see it.
I'm currently running Bering 1.0-rc3 on a 486 and have
run EigerStein and LRP previously, so I've got several
years of LEAF under my belt. I downloaded the stock
uClibc 2.2.0b4 and made some configuration changes to
bring up a PPPoE link with Verizon. I used my old
configuration changes as guidance as I stepped through
the Bering [& uClibc] Installation [& User] Guides.
Everything boots up except eth0 and eth1 appear not to
have TCP/IP bound to them and Shorewall spits and
hisses about interfaces.
The output of "ping 127.0.0.1" is:
-----
PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Network is unreachable
-----
The output of "ip link show" is:
-----
1: lo: <LOOPBACK> mtu 16436 qdisc noop
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd
00:00:00:00:00:00
2: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop

3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop
qlen 1000
link/ether 00:10:4b:00:64:c4 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Troubleshooting info follows.
The strings in 3c509.o say:
-----
kernel_version=2.4.26
description=3Com Etherlink III (3c509, 3c509B) ISA/PnP
ethernet driver
-----
so I seem to have the right compiled version of the
ethernet card driver.
syslinux.cfg is unchanged from stock.
leaf.cfg looks like this:
-----
LRP="root config etc local modules iptables dhcpcd
shorwall ulogd dnsmasq dropbear weblet ppp pppoe"
PKGPATH="/dev/fd0u1680:msdos"
syst_size=6M
log_size=2M
-----
"ls -l /lib/modules/3c509.o":
-----
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13632 Jul 3
10:21 3c509.o
-----
"3c509.o" is the first and only uncommented entry in
/etc/modules until the PPPOE section, like in my
current working /etc/modules.

doesn't happen if 3c509.o isn't present):

So, where is the "No, I don't want to use TCP/IP just
yet" configuration setting? 'cause I would like to
flip that bit.
