I have tryed to install ppp on my imx.28 board, I used LTIB, and i select
ppp on the package adder of the interface, it actually install, and when i try
to execute ppp on the board, it seems like the module of ppp is not
instaled, so it cant run.
I also enter to the kernel configuration, and enable ppp and his modules, and then, i create the configuration files at /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider:
# Minimalistic default options file for DSL/PPPoE connections
noipdefault
defaultroute
hide-password
#lcp-echo-interval 30
#lcp-echo-failure 4
noauth
persist
#mtu 1492
#persist
#maxfail 0
#holdoff 20
plugin rp-pppoe.so eth0
usepeerdns
user "adslppp@telefonicanetpa"
but when i use:
$ pppd call dsl-provider
this error appear:
Linux kernel does not support PPPoE -- are you running 2.4.x?
I'm not sure about 2.4. However recently I had tried to build ppp support
in LTIB with native 2.6.35 version of Linux kernel and got no issues.
Here I attached the kernel.
Have a great day,
Victor

Hi Victor,
I am Egoitz Arruti, and I am working with Unai in the same project. I used you new kernel in the i.MX28 with your new kernel, and seems that everything must work, but it doesn't work. We use the command:
pppd call dsl-provider
where "dsl-provider" contains the configuration that Unai wrote before.
The answer to this command is:
Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.
RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.3 compiled against pppd 2.4.4
And seems that everything is going smooth. BUT, i use the command "ifconfig" to see if the interface ppp0 is up and I can see that interface ppp0 doesnt exist. I am sure that is something missing, or I must create or write something.
Can you help us?
Regards
Thank you so much
I have used your kernel and it works, but, i still dont know how to do it by myself.
Well, I've been trying to implement ppp and pppoe in to my IMX28 EVK, i
follow all the steps that your company tells me, I select ppp on ltib, and i
enable driver support from kernel configuration, but still cant fix it, so, the
last time I ask, u send me a kernel with all the necesary to run ppp, i use it
and now it works, but i still have the same problem, i do not know whats
the difference between both kernels, so, with the same root file system,
one kernel runs ppp and the other dont.
I am sendin you my kernels, maybe u can tell me, what step I miss or
what is the difference between both.
