I have a brand new (2 days old) Macintosh ibook 700Mhz G3 PPC processor with 128MB RAM and a 40GB hdd. I've installed Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 stable with the 2.4.x series kernel that came with it, Mac OS 9/10 and NetBSD on this machine. All of the OSes work as expected except for my home dsl Internet connection under Debian.
I've ran pppoeconf, read /usr/share/doc/pppoe/README.pppoe, manually edited several files (/etc/network/interfaces, /etc/ppp/chap-secrets, /etc/ppp/pap-secrets, etc). But, nothing I've done helps... pppoe will simply not work. The built-in ethernet card works great under Debian when I hook it into the LAN at work, the airport card works too. The Mac partitions and the NetBSD partition use the home dsl connection w/o any problems so it's not a HW issue. Here's the errors that I see in /var/log/ppp-connect-errors: pppoe: read (asyncReadFromPPP) Input/output error pppoe: Timeout waiting for PADO packets Here's what shows up in /var/log/messages: Mar 30 01:04:11 (none) pppd[903]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0 Mar 30 01:04:11 (none) pppd[903]: Serial connection established.

Any ideas? I'd like to be able to use the Internet from my home dsl connection and Debian is my primary OS so booting into Mac OSX/9 or NetBSD isn't convenient for me. Please CC me on replies as I'm not subscribed to the list. Thanks in advanced Debian users! And thanks to the devel guys and gals for a hell of an OS that works wonderfully on PPC hardware!!!
