However, +the default "./go" build procedure does not make kernel-mode support. + +Here's what you need to do: + +1) Download Michal Ostrowski's patched version of pppd which supports +a PPPoE plugin. The latest version as of this writing is +at http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~mostrows/ in +http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~mostrows/ppp-2.4.0-pppoe4.tgz.

Make sure you have a /dev/ppp +device: + + mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0 + +After that, adsl-start should use kernel-mode PPPoE. + +This code is experimental and unsupported.
