Hello,

Does anyone have pppoe working with 2.4.0?

I'm running 2.4.0-ac9 with ppp and pppoe compiled into the kernel (I've tried with modules too)

The pppd simply refuses to acknowlege the presence of ppp support in the kernel.
The last release of pppd was in august 2000. Was this before the ppp interface in the
kernel was overhauled?

Have you aliased the new module name to ppp?

I'm using pppd just for simple dial-up from home, but I needed to add the following line to /etc/modules.conf before pppd would load the correct module:

alias ppp ppp_async

However, I couldn't get PPP to work when I compiled it directly into the kernel.

Thank you all. I was silly and didn't create the /dev/ppp device.

Yes, PPPoE works fine with 2.4.0. PLEASE read $YOUR_KERNEL_SOURCE/Documentation/CHANGES and setup your alias correctly.
For example (my System):

/etc/modules.conf:

---------------cut-----------------
# Ok, here we start with 2.4.x stuff !
# LVM 0.9
alias alias block-major-58 lvm-mod
alias char-major-109 lvm-mod

#CPU
alias char-major-10-184 microcode

#PPP

alias char-major-108    ppp_generic
alias /dev/ppp          ppp_generic
alias tty-ldisc-3       ppp_async
alias tty-ldisc-14      ppp_synctty
alias ppp-compress-21   bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24   ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26   ppp_deflate

#end 2.4.0
---------------cut--------------------
