Hi -
I am having problems getting PPOE working with my new Mandrake
install. When I invoke PPOE, it just times out, and tailing
/var/log/messages gives me this:
Sep 27 20:31:58 mozza pppd[3477]: pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0

Sep 27 20:31:58 mozza adsl-connect: ADSL connection lost; attempting
re-connecti
on.
I am connecting to Bell Canada's HSE service in Toronto Canada.
My system config is P300A, 64MB ram, abit motherboard, DLINK Ethernet
card.
I suspect my problem is with the ehternet driver, but I am not sure. The
card, modem, and ADSL work fine in the same machine from
Windows. <shudder>
I can get the card to show up in ifconfig - not sure if that can be used
as evidence that my ethernet driver works.
Any suggesitons appreciated -
