Linux kernel does not support PPPoE

Hello!

I have install Arch with pppoe support, configure pppoe, and try to start it.

But see error:

Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.
Linux kernel does not support PPPoE -- are you running 2.4.x?

$ pacman -Q ppp
ppp 2.4.4-6
$ zgrep CONFIG_PPPOE /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_PPPOE=m

Re: Linux kernel does not support PPPoE

Just load the pppoe module (modprobe pppoe)

Re: Linux kernel does not support PPPoE

Mr.Elendig, thx alot.

New problems:

pppd[n]: Timeout waiting for PADO packets
pppd[n]: Unable to compete PPPoE Discovery

And how to make autostart for pppoe module?

Re: Linux kernel does not support PPPoE

For autoloading the module you need to add pppoe in your modules line in /etc/rc.conf

As for the second problem... Could you provide more details? What type of connection, setup, etc...

PPPoE, Ethernet. (NotADSL)

/etc/ppp/peers/provider:

plugin rp-pppoe.so
eth0
name "MyLogin"
usepeerdns
persist
defaultroute
hide-password
noauth

/etc/ppp/pap-secrets:

"MyLogin" * "MyCoolPassword"

Re: Linux kernel does not support PPPoE

okay, I set eth0="dhcp" in rc.conf
now they recive the IP, but don't ping the host.

# ping iktulhu.net
......

162 packets transmistted, 0 reciver, 100% packet lost, time 161516ms

You can't ping any external host from within vbox. See if you can open a web page in lynx/links instead.
Edit: The vbox manual clearly states that you can't ping from within it.
