To me it took some time to straight thing out:
* compile kernel(mine is 2.4.17) with
CONFIG_PPP=m
CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY=m
CONFIG_SERIAL_NONSTANDARD=y
CONFIG_N_HDLC=m
* module aliases
alias char-major-108 ppp_generic
alias /dev/ppp ppp_generic
alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async
alias tty-ldisc-14 ppp_synctty
alias tty-ldisc-13 n_hdlc
* bring up eth0 without any IP settings (very important)
* /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf: (after adsl-setup)
CLAMPMSS=no ## helps the speed if you hook your
## machine directly to your modem
FORCEPING="." ## the key during the initialization
USER="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ## your whole email address
SYNCHRONOUS=yes ## works for me
* pppoeconf did not work for me. dont waste your time.
"pppoe" package is all you need
* setup /etc/rc2.d/S14ppp to bring the link up when boot:
ifconfig eth0 up
/usr/sbin/adsl-start
Now I'm having stable 110kB/s download speed for kernel source, very
happy with that :)
cheers,
Jack
