I've a Prism54 Wlan card (perfectly working), and I use that to connect to the Internet through a wifi capable PPPoE modem. My relevant config: /etc/conf.d/net ------- Just the line `` config_eth1=( "adsl" ) '' /etc/conf.d/wireless ------- I set up ESSID and encryption key. Just inserting the card starts the net.eth1 init script as expected. With baselayout 1.11.13, everything goes ok: the card comes up (without address), it's setted up (the ESSID and WPA), and finally rp-ppoe is started and I get connected. With the new baselayout 1.12.0_pre1-r1, connection _always_ (I tried twenty/thirty times even resetting modem between attempts) times out, and no packets seems to be sent through the ether. I mostly used `` /etc/init.d/net.eth1 restart '' to test this. The problem is almost certainly with `` /etc/init.d/net.lo '', because reverting changes in that file while downgrading baselayout to 1.11.13 brings everything back up & operational: you insert the card, five seconds later you're online. What the heck is going on? :-p Seems like a temporization issue to me... does the script waits that the ESSID & WPA etc are ok, before trying to adsl-start the interface? Just a guess, though.
Does pre2 solve this? Also, you may want to have RC_AUTO_INTERFACE="no" in /etc/conf.d/rc as the current 1.12.0_pre series may not work fully with pppd yet
-r3 works for me, albeit pppoe it's slow to start (don't ask me why) compared to < 1.20.
