my apologies for the blank message. (new mail client) :-( once again ... ------ I am trying to configure pppoe to use the tap0 interface in order to be able to use the OpenSource driver for Alcatel USB Speedtouch modem with pppoe protocol. When i execute pppoeconf, only the eth0 and dummy interfaces are detected. ifconfig only shows stats for eth0 and dummy. But in the KDE control panel, under informations i can see a mention to the tun/tap driver, so i suppose the module is loaded. I search google and debianhelp for info on tap0 interface but found nothing to answear my basic questions: - is the tap0 supposed to be up before i configure/start pppoe? - if yes how can i bring it up? - if not how can i configure pppoe to use it? - on my searches i found references of tap0 for ethertap and tun/tap. which is what? Answears and/or pointers to information about the tun/tap drivers are welcome. My box is a i786 running a fresh install of woody release 1. -- Hugo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
