Hello people,
I run suse 10.0. The ADSL Modem runs under XP very well
The protocal is:
PPoE LLC SNAP (Rfc 2516) VPIVCI 0.33
login: name@provider password Number 0000000 ( realy 7 times zero)
The driver is now part of the actual kernel
the firmware cxacru-fw.bin must be copied to /lib firmeare.
Now the system will comming up and initialize the modem.
In the /var/log/messages you can see:
ADSL line up (512 mb/s down 256 mb/s up)
but I see eth0 is down
no IPv6 routers present
mDNSresponder .... starting
plugin rp-ppoe.so loaded
PPP generic driver version ....
PPPoE plugin Version ...
mDNSResponder: unable to parse DNS Server list UNICAST DNS-SD unavailable
.
.
waiting for ... PADO
cannot complete PPPoE ...
exit
I use yast DSL to install this modem.
It looks like everthing is right configured.
But nothing works
It seems to be the DHCP Server is timing out.
Has anybody an idea what I'm doing wrong?
Paul

Additional,
since I put an IP address into /etc/resolved, I don't have the the error message of the mDNSresponder .... UNICAST DNS-SD
Can somebody tell me what passwordfw.so is doing
Take this the initials from provider0 or from /etc/passwd ?
Really since 3 month I work on this problem

soon I think, I abe a solution. I was checking through the net and Ifound br2684ctl. I compile it and insalll it. After this you have du load the driver. like
modprobe br2684
theb you cav run
br2684 -c .............................

Then make
/etc/init.d/neteork restart
then you can see that network is up
I#ve 2 problems now:1)
1. I think NAT is not workng
Iput suse.com to the
r brauser
2. cxccru.bin where I can find a better once then I Have,^

<i#ve firmware loaded but nut don#t to any transition

additional:
the modem is connecting. it gets pado etc. ...
Iget an IP -adress local and host but whre I will get then named ?
And why everything is so slow?
route -c or netstat -r takes minutes

This rplay I sent over linux ADSL that means I'm connected. I made many modification to several scripts. I will collect them and I will bring a coclusion
of the steps what you have todo

Thank you

This is what I#ve done now but it is not complete
. Check the parameters from your ISP
a) login password
b) what is the protocol
pppoe or pppatm or .......
VCI VPI
DNS
DHCP
Dialin-Number
firmeware
2. Check your kernel about cxacru, usbatm, br2684 with lsmod.
lsmod | grep cxacru etc ...

if you find all of them it looks fine.
Check now for
/usr/sbin/br2684ctl
if it there skip to 3. Next step
normally cxacru and usbatm should be there but not supported by Suse
download the package
br2684ctl.rpm or br2684ctl.tar.bz2
unpack
tar xvjf br2684ctl.tar.bz2
su
make && make install

3. Next step
load the driver
modprobe br2684
check now the syntax br2684ctl --help
if you remember your parameters from before
then create your new interface
br2684ctl -b -c 0 -a VPN.VCN
but do this only if the light are on of your modem.
Otherwise the device will be created but the system will crash

4. Now start yast
select Networkdevices
select DSL
configure everything what you know
after this is done
you will be asked about configure mail
ignore this you can do later

now some files will be created in
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-dsl0
/etc/ppp/peers/providers//provider0
maybe somewhere else are other files but this I have to find out
also remember one file, it is not created but important for later.
/etc/ppp/config
leave yast now.

5. Debug your installation
open a first console
tail -f /var/log/messages

open a second console
/etc/init.d/network restart [ -d debug ]

what you see now on your first console?
do you see now some IP-addresses?
like
local IP address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
remote IP address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
primary DNS address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
