ADSL does not work with kernel.org kernel
|

| Hi,
I'd like to use the kernel.org standard
kernel with my redhat9 distribution,
since it's faster and more adapted than
than the redhat kernel.
Problem ist, that I cannot connect to
internet with my adsl line with this
kernel.
Here are the error messages:
Aug 25 21:17:07 papst kernel: PPP
generic driver version 2.4.2
Aug 25 21:17:07 papst pppd[2451]: pppd
2.4.1 started by root, uid 0
Aug 25 21:17:07 papst pppd[2451]: Using
interface ppp0
Aug 25 21:17:07 papst pppd[2451]:
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/0
Aug 25 21:17:07 papst
/etc/hotplug/net.agent: assuming ppp0 is
already up
Aug 25 21:17:38 papst pppd[2451]: LCP:
timeout sending Config-Requests
Aug 25 21:17:38 papst pppd[2451]:
Connection terminated.
Aug 25 21:17:38 papst
/etc/hotplug/net.agent: NET unregister
event not supported
Aug 25 21:17:42 papst pppoe[2452]:
Timeout waiting for PADO packets
Aug 25 21:17:42 papst pppd[2451]: Exit.
I find the message from
/etc/hotplug/net.agent very strange,
which says "assuming ppp0 is already up"
ppp0 is NOT up at that point.
The kernel has hotplugging enabled.
This is a very strange behaviour, since
all ppp_* modules are being loaded
without any error messages.
I've also tried to comile a new ppp
version, with a pppoe patch, which
caused the same message.
What can I do ??
Why can redhat not implement a
transparent pppoe connection with a
kernel driver and NOT with this
userspace rp-pppoe stuff, which is an
extremely old technology.
greets Boris

Myself I don't use pppoe with my ADSL, so I do not know much about it. more
than there are older and newer version of pppoe and RedHat uses the older one
while the vanilla kernel uses the newer.
You need to reconfigure (change settings or add new settings) the pppoe/ppp to
be able to use it. This can lead to that the default Redhat kernels won't work
with your ADSL anymore. Another way to fix this, is to use the patch that
RedHat has for the kernel, you can find it in the kernel-2.4.x-y.src.rpm (x
and y are numbers), just install it with: rpm -i kernel-2.4.x-y.src.rpm
and you will find all the patches in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCE
