Hey, I'm trying hard to include support for Classical IPoATM support in pppoa3. I've stealen^Wborrowed code from the eci driver to include more encapsulations from rfc2684.
However i'm still far from connecting the modem through pppoa3. So i post here the patch url in order to allow more people trying to find the way to use pppoa3 and establish a classical ipoatm connection (free.fr uses that) The patch: http://ed.gomez.free.fr/vrac/encap-framework.diff The new interesting option: -r (see pppoa3 --help for a list of supported encapsulations) Limitations: The first two modes aren't implemented right, as they should be pty slaves for ppp daemon, and they're using a tap device at the moment. I wonder if a tun device could do the trick for these modes. What i've obversed: When running pppoa3 this way for free.fr connection: pppoa3 -vpi 8 -vci 36 -v 2 -r whatever_protocol I do see some network traffic, but tcpdump doesn't recognize the protocol. I tried every type of encapsulation mode, then launching a dhcp client over the interface did not work (as it's the case for the ethernet bridge freebox modem). That doesn't surprises me, as the DHCP requests are usually carried by ethernet frames, so maybe their DHCP server doesn't respond when using ATM. So i wonder if it's possible to connect with dhcp with the help of these new encapsulations. Or if i still need to follow this page advises: http://mon.adsl.chez.free.fr/modemdegroupe/spedtoucheusb/config.html And in that case, how do i set up atmarpd+pppoa3 (or is this possible). -- Edouard Gomez Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
