PPPOE support in speedbundle is completely broken. The following from Riandi Wiguna may help: --------------------------------------------- I'm not sure if this will help, but it looks like you're having the same problem I had. �The rp-pppoe.so plugin that's included in the speedbundle set doesn't seem to work the same way as the older pppoe.so (the one the instructions on Duncan's site use). �I'm sure there's a way to modify the /etc/ppp/options file to get it to work, but I couldn't figure it out. So I just downloaded the roaring penguin set of software from their site http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/rp-pppoe/ and installed it. Their 'adsl-setup' program got everything working for me. �Now, whenever I want to connect to my ISP (Bell Sympatico, in my case), I run a small script similar to the on Duncan's website. �I've lovingly named it 'gogogo': ---------------------------------------- #! /bin/bash # gogogo.sh # Testing out bash scripting � ROOT_UID=0 � if [ "$UID" != "$ROOT_UID" ] � � �then � � �echo "Must be root to run this script." � � �exit $E_NOTROOT else � � �br2684ctl -b -c 0 -a 0.0.35 � � �ifconfig nas0 up � � �adsl-start � � �echo "Sympatico Basic DSL Activated" fi � exit 0 ---------------------------------------- You'll have to change your VP and VC numbers, of course. I use 'nomogo' to shut off my connection: ---------------------------------------- #! /bin/bash # nomogo.sh # Testing out bash scripting � ROOT_UID=0 � if [ "$UID" != "$ROOT_UID" ] � � then � � echo "Must be root to run this script." � � exit $E_NOTROOT else � � killall pppd � � sleep 5 � � killall br2684ctl � � echo "Sympatico Basic DSL deactivated" fi � exit 0 ---------------------------------------- I hope that helps!
