Bug 76439 – Inconsistency/mistake in the home-router-howto documentation

• Product: [OLD] Docs-user
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Pablo De Nápoli 2005-01-02 13:02:26 UTC]

The home-router-howto says that adsl (rp-pppoe) users
should have an entry like

ifconfig_eth1=( "dhcp" )

This didn't work for me. However, the Gentoo Handbook at

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=8

says

"f you use rp-pppoe (e.g. for ADSL), set it to up."

i.e.:
ifconfig_eth1=up

and this did work for me.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

-The home-router-howto says that adsl (rp-pppoe) users
should have an entry like

ifconfig_eth1=( "dhcp" )-

I see

Add an entry for ifconfig_eth1 and set it to adsl:
ifconfig_eth1=( "adsl" )

not dhcp   this one is for cable modem

Sorry, I should have writen

ifconfig_eth1=( "adsl" )

in my bug report, instead of

ifconfig_eth1=( "dhcp" )

This didn't work either! Should be

ifconfig_eth1=up

documentation is correct

make sure you're using baselayout-1.11.x

I'm using baselayout-1.9.4-r6
