There are some backported packages (mostly for running 2.4 on potato) at deb http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main. pppoe 3.something is one of them. However, /usr/sbin/pppoe in that package is a wrapper script that uses a bash feature (c style ++ operator) that was introduced after bash 2.03, so you either have to patch /usr/sbin/pppoe or use pppoe.real in your /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider file. I have attached said patch below: -Hilko ========================================cut here======================= --- pppoe.orig Wed Aug 1 19:12:40 2001 +++ pppoe Wed Aug 1 19:17:44 2001 @@ -8,12 +8,14 @@ if [ "$1" == "-I" ]; then iface="$2" fi -args[$((index++))]=$1 +args[$index]=$1 +index=$((index+1)) while shift; do if [ "$1" == "-I" ]; then iface="$2" fi - args[$((index++))]=$1 + args[$index]=$1 + index=$((index+1)) done # Bring the interface up.
