Description Alexandre Blanchette 2000-07-30 00:34:21 UTC 
Is there some plans to support PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet, RFC 2516) devices
with the initscripts?

Comment 2 Alexandre Blanchette 2000-07-30 00:52:00 UTC 
I attached what I've been to do. I had to add some PPP parameters in ifcfg-ppp0
and in ipup-ppp to make sure to connect to my ISP.

It relies on a userspace PPPoE agent, available on
http://www.ecf.toronto.edu/~stras/pppoe.html, but IIRC there's some support in
kernel 2.4

I know it's butt-ugly, but hey.. it's my first attempt to hack something ;)
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2000-07-31 19:52:44 UTC 
This is fixed in the current beta release with the addition
of the rp-pppoe package.
