adsl-setup missing from RedHat 7.2 ?

dddlc · 01-15-2002, 01:24 AM

I have an adsl router/firewall router that I am putting together. It's has a fresh copy of RedHat 7.2 with rp-pppoe 3.2-3/ppp 2.4.1-2 installed. The other adsl related files seem to be there (i.e. adsl-start, adsl-stop & adsl-status), but the adsl-setup script which is mentioned on virtually every adsl thread regarding pppoe setup, is nowhere to be found. As a result I can't create a pppoe.conf file.

Has anybody got any clues.

Thanks

David.

what i have done, i downloaded the rp-pppoe GUI and i seted up manualy with the GUI, thats very easy to do, even if you don't want to download it try to re-install the pppoe rpms.

i hope this helps.

I fixed my problem this way. Uninstalled the RH 7.2 version of rp-pppoe (3.2-3), installed the rpm binary of rp-pppoe (3.3-1) from roaringpenguin.com & now adsl-setup is there. I can now create pppoe.conf.

There is a note on roaringpenguin's site about the RedHat verision - "....Red Hat distributes a particularly butchered version of rp-pppoe which is very difficult to use without graphical tools...". As usual there is nothing of substance on RH's "support" pages about this gotcha/snafu.
