I have all of them except for CONFIG_N_HDLC. Can someone tell me where I can
find this option? I'm building kernel 2.6.11.12.

Thanks, Andy.
I followed the instruction in the doc/KERNEL-MODE-PPPOE file in rp-pppoe 3.8 package and managed to connect to my ISP. How can I
check if I am using kernel-mode or user-mode PPPoE?
Here's what I did:
0) Make sure you are running kernel 2.4.x on the machine you will build
rp-pppoe on. You must have the following kernel configuration settings:
CONFIG_PPP=m or CONFIG_PPP=y
CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC=m or CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC=y
CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY=m or CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY=y
CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE=m or CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE=y
CONFIG_PPP_BSDCOMP=m or CONFIG_PPP_BSDCOMP=y
CONFIG_PPPOE=m or CONFIG_PPPOE=y
CONFIG_N_HDLC=m or CONFIG_N_HDLC=y # I have all the other options
except for this one
CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y
You also need a /dev/ppp file:
mknod --mode=664 /dev/ppp c 108 0 # this file exists with permission
crw-rw---- and is owned by user root, group root.
You might want to add these lines to /etc/modules.conf ( I did not add these,
since the kernel does not use modules):
alias char-major-108 ppp_generic
alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async
alias tty-ldisc-13 n_hdlc
alias tty-ldisc-14 ppp_synctty
alias net-pf-24 pppoe
1) If you are running pppd older than 2.4.0, check out the latest
version of the PPP software from the CVS repository at cvs.samba.org.
Here's how to do this:
# I am running pppd 2.4.3, so I skipped this step
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot login
# When prompted for a password, type "cvs"
# Change to the directory in which you want to store the PPP source
# code.
cd /path/to/checked/out/sources
# Check out the source
cvs -z5 -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot co ppp
If you are running pppd 2.4.0 or newer, and have the pppd development
headers installed, you can skip steps 1 and 2.
# I skipped step 2, too.
2) The source gets checked out into a subdirectory called ppp. If
the source ends up in /path/to/checked/out/sources/ppp, then call
that path $PPPDIR.
Build and install the checked-out ppp code according to its instructions.
3) Unpack rp-pppoe.
4) In the rp-pppoe directory, change to src/ and type:
./configure --enable-plugin=$PPPDIR
# I issued the command that follows instead
where $PPPDIR, of course, refers to the checked-out "ppp" directory
from cvs.samba.org.
If you didn't check out the PPP software from cvs.samba.org, use:
./configure --enable-plugin
4) Type make; make install
# done
5) Edit /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf to include this line:
LINUX_PLUGIN=/etc/ppp/plugins/rp-pppoe.so
#done after issuing pppoe-setup
After that, pppoe-start should use kernel-mode PPPoE.
# yes, pppoe-start did connect to my ISP and I manged to ping a host on the
Internet by IP addres
How can I be usre that I'm using kernel-mode PPPoE in this case?
