I have to use command "ifconfig eth0 up" startup eth0 manually. Where can i set it start it up automatically?

Have you tried "pppoeconf"?

Moloko · 09-17-2005, 11:27 AM

Configure pppoe as a ppp0 interface:

http://www.linbyte.com/debian/pppoe.php

Mathsniper · 09-18-2005, 12:58 AM

The /etc/network/interfaces

Code:

### etherconf DEBCONF AREA. DO NOT EDIT THIS AREA OR INSERT TEXT BEFORE IT.
auto lo

iface lo inet loopback


### END OF DEBCONF AREA.  PLACE YOUR EDITS BELOW; THEY WILL BE PRESERVED.

iface dsl-provider inet ppp
          provider dsl-provider
# please do not modify the following line
     pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf

how can I startup "auto eth0"?
