Hello, Jose Bernardo Silva,
>If you'd stayed with sourcemage instead of gentoo... ;) > I haven't been able to install it, some months ago :-) I have checked the SM site b4 trying gentoo, but gentoo has better documentation... >Take a look at the howto I posted for mandrake's mnf, since it was made for >portugal (oninet speed) and MNF hasn't got hotplug installed, so I didn't use >ifup. To get tap1 working, I edited the speedtouch.sh file to add the lines to >launch pppoa3 with the -b option, followed by pppoe. I also edited >/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf so that it would use the correct tap device. Getting it to >work with hotplug might be nice touch, though. what brings up your tap device? In my debian, if i understand correctly the concepts, when something try to use the /dev/net/tun device, hotplug calls ifup tap0 to bring the device up. (look at the following lines from my syslog, the idented line) and make it available. ...
