how do I set up ppp0
I have compiled ppp and pppoe support into my kernel. From the docs and readme I get the impression that this was supposed to create the ppp0 interface for me.
ifconfig ppp0 [up] gives message SIOCADDRT: No such device the only interface in my routing table is lo how do I get ppp0 in there? |
do you have dsl or regular modem?
in either case you can't just use ifconfig to enable device. you have to firstly get connection up, before ifconfig |
When you start pppd (manually or using kppp or other dialer) ppp0 is configured. You can't use ifconfig for this.

OK. Then how do I get ppp0 into the routing table
Thanks for the help.
I am following several HOWTOs regarding getting PPPoE to work with an Alcatel USB modem. All of them recommend that I set the default route as follows route add default ppp0 This command fails for me. What do I need to do to get ppp0 into the routing table as the default route. Do I need to successfully connect first. This is sounding like a catch-22. |
yes you have to connect first and then using some script run the command
