Hi,
Okay I'm trying something else to get connected to
my ISP. I ran adsl-setup and answered all the questions.
Then I ran adsl-start. After a few seconds it times out. So
then I ran adsl-status and the error is:
Link is down (can't read pppoe PID file /var/run/pppoe.conf-
adsl.pid.pppoe) Is this a file I was suppose to create? I couldn't
find it in the instructions.

sounds like it couldn't establish the link. the file adsl-status is
referring to is a status file. Make sure you're using the right
interface, especially if you have more than one ethernet adapter.

And then came the Apocolypse. It actually wasn't that
bad, everyone got the day off and there were barbeques
all around.

You don't need to create anything, but do look (locate) for
adsl.pid.pppoe. It shoudl happen auto-styles so if it don't then you
will have to go digging. Keep trying, once you have got it to work
once it never seems to bother you again... ;-)

Perhaps you'd like to do it like I did:

* edit /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf
* edit /etc/ppp/chap.secrets
* edit /etc/ppp/pap.secrets
* adsl-start

Worked great for me. It's also a great possibility to see if
the desired values have been put properly to pppoe.conf using
adsl-setup.


Best regards

I did the above and feel that it's okay.So, I did the following:
ifconfig eth0 the reply
eth0: error fecthing interface info. Device not found
next I did
dmesg | grep eth0 no hits
next
lspci
the info I was looking for -
Ethernet Controller: VIA Technologies VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 74)
So then I looked at my /boot/config
CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET=y
CONFIG_NET_PCI=y
CONFIG_VIA_RHINE=m
then I
lsmod nothing
How do I find out which module I have to add ?
Thanks.

You already know which module you have to add.

The output returns CONFIG_VIA_RHINE for a reason (the module is,
unsurprisingly, called "via-rhine").

From the kernel Help:

CONFIG_VIA_RHINE:

If you have a VIA "Rhine" based network card (Rhine-I (VT86C100A),


Rhine-II (VT6102), or Rhine-III (VT6105)), say Y here. Rhine-type


Ethernet functions can also be found integrated on South Bridges


(e.g. VT8235).

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module


will be called via-rhine.

So you probably want to add via-rhine to /etc/modules.d/kernel-2.* .

Hope this helps,
Holly

How do you use the kernel help feature??

Can you point me to some document that tell me how to add the
module via-rhine to /etc/modules.d? I don't have /etc/modules.d/kernel-2.*. Thanks

If you are manually compiling the kernel (I use make menuconfig), select
any option that you want more detail about and use the arrow keys to
highlight "Help" at the bottom of the screen (instead of Select or
Enter). If you then hit the Enter key, the help for that option will be displayed.

Sorry-- typo. It should be /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.* (the star
being either "4" or "6", depending on whether you're running kernel 2.4
series or 2.6 series.

The documentation should be in the Handbook, but you really shouldn't
need it; just look at the file. It's quite simple.

Hi,
When I reboot my system I notice that the module, via-rhine, does not get
loaded.What log captures all the boot-up messages?
I found the module,via-rhine, in
/lib/modules/2.4.26-gentoo-r6/kernel/drivers/net/via-rhine.o, do I
have to move it some place for it to get loaded?
Thanks.
