I'm having hard times trying to get ADSL to work, I tryed about
everything possible, looked over all documentation I could and there is
still nothing.

I attached a few informations to the message hoping someone find
something wrong in there.

I noticed some IRQ conflicts in the dmesg but I have no idea if they are
important. The USB part is my printer which has an integrated scanner,
don't bother, I'll deal with that one once gentoo gets to connect to the
net.

I'm trying to connect using rp-pppoe (I got it to work often in other
distributions, that part is just fine). I think the problem relies on
lower layers, I just don't understand much about those things.

eth0 driver is 8139too and the kernel is compiled with all modules I
read were important, and loaded, as you can see in modules.autoload.

The same machine connects just fine using redhat, and just as fine using
the livecd, so cables are plugged just fine.

Need other informations? I guess that's about everything I could collect
over the last few weeks. I'm about sure there is a file I didn't check
somewhere where a comment say: 'change this line and it will work', but
I can't find it...

Thank you for reading,

Hi Louis,

what does pppd log to /var/log/syslog?

Karsten

There must be something wrong but that file does not exist...

I dont use pppoe nor do I know anything about it but your eth0
config does not have any IP details, inet mask etc.

I have a dhcp server for this but if you dont you will need to set
it manually

/var/log/syslog is the standard file where the Gentoo sysklogd logs
events.

It may be, that you use another configuration or another syslog. Could
you please proof some settings:
- which syslog package do you have installed (usually one of sysklogd or
syslog-ng IIRC)
- where does your syslog write events (look for the entry "*.*" in its
configuration file /etc/syslog.conf)
- does your syslog daemon run (ps auxw|grep syslog)?
- if not, start it, start ppp and look into the logfile. There should be
some messages from ppp about its try to build a connection.

Louis-Philippe has a problem with pppoe. This is 'ppp over ethernet'.
The NIC, which is used for pppoe does not need an IP address to work
properly. You have only to load the card module to get ethernet work.
There is no need to set an IP address, because IP is not used on this
layer.

no. not for pppoe.

The configuration file is not there either do I guess it's not installed
at all.

ok, so i suggest before you work on your ppp problem, you should install
a syslog package, because otherwise you won't got the information you
need to solve your problems with your system.

Hi
You seem to be using 8139too and APIC - I had some serious problems
getting both to work at the same time so you might want to try
append="noapic" and see whether that improves things.

Quick question, where do I use that one?
