Merry Xmas all... I'm stuck trying to get ADSL working under Debian 3.0. pppoe conf runs and seems very happy. It tells me it's found an access concentrator, and all is well, but when it goes to start the link I get the error message:
ppp0: error fetching interface information: Device not found This seems bizzarre... how can it find an access concentrator if it can't find the device??? I'm pretty stumped... /var/log/messages says: Dec 24 08:12:39 denial pppd[189]: Serial connection established. Dec 24 08:12:39 denial pppd[189]: Using interface ppp0 Dec 24 08:12:39 denial pppd[189]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/0 Dec 24 08:12:40 denial pppd[189]: Modem hangup Dec 24 08:12:40 denial pppd[189]: Connection terminated. over and over. /var/log/daemon says: Dec 24 08:12:39 denial pppoe[286]: PADS: Service-Name: '' Dec 24 08:12:39 denial pppoe[286]: PPP session is 3133 Dec 24 08:12:40 denial pppoe[286]: Session terminated -- received PADT from peer over and over, until the point when I hit ctrl-c, when it says Dec 24 08:14:31 denial modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp0 Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong or how I might approach fixing it? I like Debian, but it seems like the initial installation and setup process, always its weakest point, has gotten even worse? It cluttered my system with stuff I never asked for (ISDN, etc), and so far lilo, X and ADSL have all failed to work. I'd switch distros if I could give up on apt. cheers and thanks in advance, Martin -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
