I just don't know... Mine is running great (RoadRunner on MediaOne
errr... AT&T Global) with either plain old pump or dhcpcd. It came up,
first shot, in the blink of an eye. Installer is trying to tell me that
they don't support Linux and I'm telling him "no shit Shirlock, looks like
there is nothing here that needs support." I had given him the MAC
address and told him to call it in. Like a good little installer, he
actually did what I asked him to do, and it JUST #@!$#@! WORKED. Imagine
that!
My only problem is I have one of those HIGHLY UNUSUAL situations
where I DO NOT want the default route to go out the cable modem (I have
4 BRI ISDN lines for high reliablity stuff) and I can't figure out a way
to keep pump or dhcpcd from installing a default route.
