I tell a friend about LEAF so he tries to setup the bering 1.0 rc3 ( the same version that i have) We connect both with adsl and the same provider. My connection works well but my friend got this message (from syslog)
Plugin /usr/lib/pppd/pppoe.so loaded PPPoE Plugin Initialized pppd started by root, uid 0 Sending PADI the plugin is initialized but (from syslog): Nov 15 23:17:45 firewall pppd[7330]: invalid packet Ether addr: 14:22:f0:bf:6c:8f PPPoE hdr: ver=0xf type=0x9 code=0x11 sid=0x002b length=0x5422 (Unknown) PPPoE tag: type=f0bf length=6c8f (Unknown) unrecognized data Nov 15 23:17:45 firewall pppd[7330]: Failed to negotiate PPPoE connection: 4 Interrupted system call Nov 15 23:17:45 firewall pppd[7330]: Exit. The config file are ok, he has the same as me. He has two 3com 3c509b NIC's. I read it from mail-archive, but I don't think my friend is in the case described by Charles Steinkuehler : > I've tried the above with and without quotes.

I'd say the odds are on something mis-configured in your PPP or PPPoE setup. I had virtually no luck with PPPoE until I setup a test PPPoE network, and could look at the logs on *BOTH* sides of the connection. Once I got the kinks out of my test configuration, linking up with an actual provider went smoothly. It may help to connect a full-blown disto to your PPPoE link (or bum some config files off someone on-list with a linux box hooked to SWBT PPPoE DSL), and compare the configuation with what you're setting up in LEAF. One thing working with a thin disto like LEAF is you're forced to learn how to make everything run at a very low-level. This can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your perspective. I learned *WAY* more about software RAID by building a LEAF based web-server sporting a SCSI RAID-1 than by installing RedHat and using the GUI installer to build mirrored partitions...in fact, I learned enough playing with RAID on LEAF that I now trust it for production servers, and know I can fix things if I ever loose a drive. Charles Steinkuehler I really need help, so if someone have an idea ....
