Hello Richard
Don't know if this made it to the list before; but I wanted to start a
new thread.
I am using the Dachstien floppy boot image (rc2) .
I have seen mail on the list about the Dachstein CD image, including
some scripts (init adsl-start) referred to that allow pppoe to a dsl
provider to be configured on an external interface.
But, what is on the CD may not be on the floppy image. At this very
moment, the Dachstein floppy boot does not appear to be happy with the
CDROM in my IBM Aptiva , which is to become a firewall for my home network.
Hence I would like to boot from floppy, if possible.
Can someone point me to the init and adsl-start scripts somewhere on the
web?
Is there a pppoe module or package that is needed?
with the version of Charles, you can use the roaring penguin
package, that you can find at kenneth hadley's and the littlebit
tuned one on my page
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/khadley/packages.html
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/ericw/package/pppoe.lrp
Next to the pppoe.lrp you will need the ppp.lrp you can also find at
kenneth page.
I don't know if Charles has ppp included or as I suppose it is
avalaible as a module.
You certainly can take this from the CD
The modules you 'll need are:
slhc.o
ppp.o
ppp_deflate.o ???
bsd_comp.o ??
I am not sure the last two are really necessary.
For pppoe itself you don't need a module as with the roaring
penguin programm, you use a programm in user space
On kenneth page there is also a short introduction on how to
install the package. It is not very difficult.
The modules you can find under the following adress (without wrap)
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/cstein/files/diskimages/dachstein-
CD/CD-Contents/lib/modules/net/
I have read the Dachstein firewall setup by Charles Steinkuehler, and
looked in the appropriate directories for a pppoe client module, but I
can't find one. I have read the various xDSL how-tos, and Networking
how-tos. They are not specific to the Dachstien environment, however,
and I cannot figure out how to proceed.
My configuration is the Aptiva with two Netgear FA311's (eth0 external,
eth1 internal).
I am connecting to Bellsouth's DSL service through an Alcatel Speed
Touch home ethernet dsl modem.
Works greate thru my Suse box with roaring penguin, and of course via
windoze box.
Good luck
