pppoe: a PPP-over-Ethernet redirector for pppd
Copyright (C) 2001 Roaring Penguin Software Inc.
Much inspiration from an earlier client by Luke Stras.
The MSS clamping was inspired by mssclampfw by Marc Boucher <marc@mbsi.ca>
with acknowledgements to Rebel.com (http://www.rebel.com). However, the
actual MSS clamping code is original and is licensed under the GPL, unlike
the original mssclampfw.
Introduction
============
pppoe is a user-space redirector which permits the use of PPPoE
(Point-to-Point Over Ethernet) with Linux. PPPoE is used by many
ADSL service providers.
Installation
============
Requirements
------------
1) Linux 2.2.9 or later on Intel, Sparc or PowerPC. It may work on
Alpha, too -- anyone care to let me know?
OR
Linux 2.0.36 or later.
OR
FreeBSD, NetBSD or OpenBSD with BPF support. I have access only
to FreeBSD. In general, I can't answer questions about the *BSD's
as well as I can about Linux.
2) pppd 2.3.10 or later. Versions 2.3.7 and later work unless you use
demand-dialling. For demand dialling, you *must* use 2.3.10 or later.
QUICKSTART
----------
If you're lucky, the "quickstart" method will work. After unpacking
the archive, become root and type:
./go
This should configure, compile and install the software and set up your
ADSL connection. You'll have to answer a few questions along the way.
If you want the GUI wrapper, type:
./go-gui
If ./go and ./go-gui didn't work, read the rest of this README.
Compiling
---------
Compile and install pppd if you don't already have it. Then:
1) Unpack:
$ tar xzvf rp-pppoe-xxx.tar.gz
2) Change to source directory:
$ cd src
3) Configure:
$ ./configure
4) Compile:
$ make
4) Install (this step must be done as root)
# make install
5) Now read doc/HOW-TO-CONNECT
