pppoe in 2.4.0

pppoe in 2.4.0

[Martin Hicks]

Hello,

Does anyone have pppoe working with 2.4.0?

I'm running 2.4.0-ac9 with ppp and pppoe compiled into the kernel (I've
tried with modules too)

The pppd simply refuses to acknowlege the presence of ppp support in the
kernel.
The last release of pppd was in august 2000.  Was this before the ppp
interface in the 
kernel was overhauled?

Have you aliased the new module name to ppp?

I'm using pppd just for simple dial-up from home, but I needed to add
the following line to /etc/modules.conf before pppd would load the
correct module:

alias ppp ppp_async

However, I couldn't get PPP to work when I compiled it directly into
the kernel.

Yes, PPPoE works fine with 2.4.0. PLEASE read
$YOUR_KERNEL_SOURCE/Documentation/CHANGES and setup your alias
correctly.
For example (my System):

/etc/modules.conf:

---------------cut-----------------
# Ok, here we start with 2.4.x stuff !
# LVM 0.9
alias alias block-major-58      lvm-mod
alias char-major-109            lvm-mod

#CPU
alias char-major-10-184 microcode

#PPP
alias char-major-108    ppp_generic
alias /dev/ppp          ppp_generic
alias tty-ldisc-3       ppp_async
alias tty-ldisc-14      ppp_synctty
alias ppp-compress-21   bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24   ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26   ppp_deflate
#end 2.4.0

Thank you all.  I was silly and didn't create the /dev/ppp device.

Kann es sein, daß wir das "alias /dev/ppp" für ppp mit devfs brauchen?
Hat das schon jemand getestet?
Unterstützen wir devfs für unseren 2.4 Kernel auf 7.1?
Gibt es dafür schon einen Punkt im Handbuch?
                    ein Howto?
		    oder einen SDB-Artikel?

cu, Bernd
