PPPoE

[unaigonzalez]

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.
