Hi, I'm using BuC 2.3 with a dynamic-IP, PPPoE, DSL connection. pppd and
pppoe are both version 2.4.2 Rev 2 (current, per the packages page).
I'm seeking info from my ppp(oe) software about (esp) the name of the
access concentrator I'm connecting to. If I had a standalone pppoe
executable I'd issue "pppoe -A". (My ISP is instructing me to do this
for debug purposes).
I've used "debug" in the dsl-provider file and gotten some low-level ppp
handshaking but no concentrator name. I've tried "kdebug 1" to no avail.
I've browsed the pppd (& pppoe plugin) code and discovered a parameter
"rp_pppoe_verbose" (saying "Be verbose about discovered access
concentrators"). The only place its use didn't cause an error message
(and where the code indicates to me that this parm should be used) was
when I put in into my interfaces file, as follows:
provider dsl-provider eth0 rp_pppoe_verbose 1
(when I first omitted the 1, I got an intelligent error msg, too!)
I then issued svi networking restart to re-load everything but saw no
changes to what's logged in daemon.log et al.
I have a specific hope that the sort of info (esp concentrator name)
that I'm seeking is available, because browsing the executable gives me
juicy lines of text like:
rp_pppoe_verbose
[...]

Help?!
(Thanks for any, and for LEAF)
