 Posted: Tue Mar 01, 2005 8:04 pm Post subject: Help! PPPoE won't work after updating kernel |
 |
|
I updated my kernel from gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.7 to development-sources 2.6.10-r1 in order to get swsusp2 working (it does). The problem is, my HomePNA connection stopped working. RP-PPPoE connects most of the time, but takes longer than it did (five or six dots, only one or two before). However, I cannot download anything more than a couple of kilobytes (I noticed the problem when trying to get nvidia-kernel for the new kernel). If I revert back to the old kernel, the connection works fine. I've checked, I have similar PPP kernel choices.
Here are the config files from 2.6.7, where the connection WORKS:
From .config:
| Code: |
*snip*
#
# Wan interfaces
#
# CONFIG_WAN is not set
# CONFIG_FDDI is not set
# CONFIG_HIPPI is not set
CONFIG_PPP=y
# CONFIG_PPP_MULTILINK is not set
# CONFIG_PPP_FILTER is not set
CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC=y
CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY=y
# CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE is not set
# CONFIG_PPP_BSDCOMP is not set
# CONFIG_PPPOE is not set
# CONFIG_SLIP is not set
# CONFIG_NET_FC is not set
# CONFIG_SHAPER is not set
# CONFIG_NETCONSOLE is not set
*snip* |
adsl-status:
| Code: |
adsl-status: Link is up and running on interface ppp0
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:**.**.**.150 P-t-P:**.***.**.1 Mask:255.***.***.*
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1492 Metric:1
RX packets:2279 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
RX bytes:2000468 (1.9 Mb) TX bytes:252228 (246.3 Kb)

And here's from the new kernel where the connection DOESN'T WORK:
| Code: |
*snip*
#
# Wan interfaces
#
# CONFIG_WAN is not set
# CONFIG_FDDI is not set
# CONFIG_HIPPI is not set
# CONFIG_PLIP is not set
CONFIG_PPP=y
# CONFIG_PPP_MULTILINK is not set
# CONFIG_PPP_FILTER is not set
CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC=y
CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY=y
# CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE is not set
# CONFIG_PPP_BSDCOMP is not set
# CONFIG_PPPOE is not set
# CONFIG_SLIP is not set
# CONFIG_NET_FC is not set
# CONFIG_SHAPER is not set
# CONFIG_NETCONSOLE is not set
*snip*
|
Here's adsl-status from the new kernel:
| Code: |
adsl-status: Link is up and running on interface ppp0
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:**.***.**.01 P-t-P:**.***.**.1 Mask:255.***.***.*
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1492 Metric:1
RX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
RX bytes:348 (348.0 b) TX bytes:196 (196.0 b)

They seem identical.
I'm completely baffled. For now I'll just go with the old kernel, but I'd really like to be able to use the new one because of hibernating.[/code] |

*bump*
I'm desperate here :/
I tried RP-PPPoE's kernel mode pppoe but the same problem persists. |

I updated to rp-pppoe 3.5-r7 to see if it would help, but nope :/ That bug doesn't apply, it has been fixed in this version.
I haven't tried 2.6.11... I guess I will have to.
EDIT: I think switching to kernel mode gave me a small boost, but it's still horribly slow. |

| Maybe you should file a bug. |
