Yeah, I upgraded to rp-pppoe-3.8 yesterday. I had to change my /etc/conf.d/net file to look like this: config_eth0=( "adsl" ) adsl_user_eth0="username" Here's where I found the relevant information: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=4&chap=3#doc_chap4 Gentoo does use rp-pppoe to connect. It just does it when bringing up eth0 directly. HTH, Mrugesh pgpiUechhtOSZ.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] pppd and adsl
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 rp-pppoe is deprecated? (2) Every time I call /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 there is a warning saying that "net.ppp0 is started but is inactive" This is my /etc/conf.d/net modules=( "iproute2") config_eth0=( "192.168.0.2/24" ) config_ppp0=( "ppp" ) link_ppp0="eth0" plugins_ppp0=( "pppoe" ) username_ppp0='xxx' password_ppp0='xxx' pppd_ppp0=( "updetach" "defaultroute" "usepeerdns") Any suggestion? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
