Bug 14673 – adsl support on rc2 live cds doesn't work for me

• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Release Media

[Description lemonite 2003-01-28 06:19:17 UTC]

I try to establish a adsl connection after during installation from a rc2 live
cd (pentium3 iso or x86 iso). The adsl-start script times out. My NIC is
recognized and the appropriate module (natsemi) is loaded. I had successfully
used net-setup eth0 and I can ping to 192.168.1.1
Previously I had used a rc1 live cd without adsl problems and I tested it again
and it works. The error message I got is as follows:

......... TIMED OUT
/usr/sbin/adsl-start: line 194: 3072 Terminated          $CONNECT "$@"
>/dev/null 2>&1

I posted to forums.gentoo.org (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=32207)
but there were no replies up to now.

I appreciate any advices. Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Actually it seems the problem is with pppoe. pppoe -A should give some
information about a reachable access concentrator. This is what pppoe -A does
with rc1, but under rc2 it exits with:

# pppoe -A
pppoe: Timeout waiting for PADO packets

I don't know why pppoe can't find an access concentrator. Hope this info helps a
little bit.

Kind regards,

Sorry for being late... I've tested again with the latest live cd rc4 and ADSL support works 
fine now. I consider the problem solved.
