Hi everybody!
I want to ask a question. It may be litle stupid but I was confused yet.
I'm trying to install a USB ADSL modem on a Slackware 9.1 I installed a correct driver, in my oppinion the required support in kernel is provided. I ran adsl-setup and indicate interface eht1 there ( I have a LAN NIC on eth0). I was asked to give IP adress and other... When I load the driver only the indicator power on the modem is on ( before driver the three indicators is on - power, ADSL and DATA)
The problem is that when I run ifconfig - there is no eth1. If I run ifconfig eth1 up - the rezult is he same - there is no eth1
What is the way to assign eth1 to my USB modem
With netconfig it assigns the IP of the modem on eth0 and there is no eth1 again.
Can you help me pls!!!
Thank you!

Hi.

All the USB ADSL modems I've come accross appear as pppx, not ethx. Try configuring ppp0 instead of eth1.

What sort of modem is it (make, model)?

Dave

Hi Dave
10x for your answer Its ELCON 131 U with eagle-usb driver.
I will try as ppp0 but I'm not sure

Hi again.

The modem does indeed attach as a ppp device. There's some documentation here:

I have eth1 now - it loads with "ifconfig eth1 up" but now I think I have a problem with pppd or pppoe. It only starts manual and when I type adsl-connect (it doesn't connects me anyway) and then check status (eaglediag) it shows me pppd not lanched

Any ideas?

Does your ISP use pppoe or pppoa?

Dave

Yes the ISP uses pppoe
When I type pppoe -I eth1 or pppd pty 'pppoe -I eth1' passive , after 1min it gives me a message "Timeout waiting for PADO packets"
Is it becouse of DNS or...?

I'm not too well versed in the finer details of pppoe.

I'd post another question, see if anyone knows what I don't.
