Hi, I have a timing problem setting up my ADSL network via bridge 2684
My script worked just fine until I moved my Gentoo system to my new fast multicore PC. Now it looks like the network configuration proceeds too fast. In /etc/conf.d/net I have br2684ctl_nas0="-e 0 -a 8.35" config_nas0=( null ) config_ppp0="ppp" # Runs /lib/rcscripts/net/pppd.sh link_ppp0='nas0' # The name of the RFC2684 bridge interface plugins_ppp0="pppoe" and so on. >From /var/log/messages I see that the nas0 interface created by br2684ctl is not ready yet when it's needed. I get /etc/init.d/net.nas0[3452]: ERROR: interface nas0 does not exist /etc/init.d/net.nas0[3453]: Ensure that you have loaded the correct kernel module for your hardware /etc/init.d/net.nas0[3392]: ERROR: net.nas0 failed to start /etc/init.d/net.ppp0[3454]: ERROR: cannot start net.ppp0 as net.nas0 would not start br2684ctl[3426]: Interface "nas0" created sucessfully br2684ctl[3426]: Communicating over ATM 0.8.35, encapsulation: LLC br2684ctl[3426]: Interface configured br2684ctl[3426]: RFC 1483/2684 bridge daemon started which shows that it is ready (only) now. IF I start net.ppp0 afterwards again, the network comes up. So to fix this, I'd like to do some 'sleep' after /usr/bin/br2684ctl has executed. Where is the syntax br2684ctl_nas0= ... explained and how can I insert some 'sleep'? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany
