Hello,
I got sarge 3.1r0a with a pppoe connection from dataone(provider) configured with pppoeconf v 1.7.i have configured this connection,able to connect but i need to run'ifconfig eth0 up'.here is /etc/network/interfaces:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
name Ethernet LAN card
#auto eth0
iface dsl-provider inet static
provider dsl-provider
# added by pppoeconf
pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see i commented out eth0 line as "#auto eth0" because i
believe the 'pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up' brings network up..but it
does not...and i need to run ifconfig eth0 up...
if i uncomment the 'auto eth0' line,lan brought up at boot but,i need to run another command to connect after 'pon dsl-provider : 'route add default ppp0'....so that ppp0 be default connection.so my last state of pppoe connection looks like this:
Code:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cosmic:~# ifconfig eth0 up
cosmic:~# pon dsl-provider
please fix this..i have this problem with sarge's default kernel..2.6.8
too..
