^^^^ udev is your problem. With udev activated, modules can not be autoloaded on access like with devfs or the old-style /dev system. You need to add some drivers to /etc/modules, including ppp_generic, and probably pppoe support. Use lsmod after running pppoeconf to look for modules you need.
$> lsmod | grep ppp pppoe 14432 2 pppox 3592 1 pppoe ppp_generic 30068 6 pppoe,pppox slhc 7808 1 ppp_generic
So I put in /etc/modules the following? slhc ppp_generic pppox pppoe
Correct?
You can omit slhc, because ppp_generic depends on it according to my modules.dep, so it will be autoloaded when ppp_generic is loaded.
best regards Andreas Janssen
In just included ppp_generic in /etc/modules file and it is now working fine. I get this in /var/log/messages:
.
.
.
kernel: PPP generic driver version 2.4.2

.
pppd[5105]: Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.
pppd[5105]: RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.3 compiled against pppd 2.4.2

Thanks a ton. ->HS
