I am trying to connect to the internet with ADSL. My distro is SuSE 7.3, my ethernet card is a EtherPCI LAN Card II (LNEPCI2T) which is, apparently a PCI NE2000 clone.
I've done the adsl-setup bit. adsl-start only gives a positive response when I've specified dial-on-demand in adsl-setup. This is the output from adsl-status:
-----------
linux:~ # adsl-status
Note: You have enabled demand-connection; adsl-status may be inaccurate.
adsl-status: Link is up and running on interface ppp0
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:10.112.112.112 P-t-P:10.112.112.113 Mask:255.255.255.255

Well, that didn't get me very far. The next thing was to check what's in dmesg. Here are the relevant (I think...) bits:
1st msg -----------
ne2k-pci.c:v1.02 10/19/2000 D. Becker/P. Gortmaker
http://www.scyld.com/network/ne2k-pci.html
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:0c.0
eth0: Winbond 89C940 found at 0xe400, IRQ 11, 00:03:6D:40:06:40.
----------------
2nd msg ------------
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
----------------
This last message (no IPv6...) makes me think that might be gthe problem but, frankly, I haven't a clue how to solve it. Heck, I don't even know whether it IS the problem...
Any help will be gratefully received.
Cheers
Joe
