Hello everyone,
Just wondering if anyone has had any luck with getting your ADSL modem to work using PPPoA as I have a ITeX chipset ADSL modem and the drivers for Linux and have been told that it will work under RedHat.

Hoping that before I try to install Gentoo that someone could tell me if its possable to get this modem working?

Hope that all made sense?

Cheers
halojen

Well Im sorry but I did search and I did come across your post but it didnt really answer my question.

I was asking about PPPoA as I have only found one other post about PPPoA and it didnt tell me much at all, So im sorry if I gave you the impression that I didnt search for the topic I posted.

I did find alot about PPPoE but like I said that is not the protocol that is used in my country or I should say with my provider.

Cheers

Hi,
you need to recompile your kernel for Itex support.
Use the kernel 2.4.18.
Use this config (my) http://studenti.unina.it/~surano/.config
Put it in /usr/src/linux/ that is a link to the scr directory of the kernel 2.4.18 (/usr/src/linux-2.4.18/).
Compile the kernel (make dep && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install), and use it.

Now you have a kernel compatible with Itex modules.

For PPPoE connections:
After the reboot with the new kernel, download http://studenti.unina.it/~surano/itex1483-2.4.16.o and copy it in /lib directory.

insmod -f /lib/itex1483-2.4.16.o vpi=8 vci=35 framing=1
ifconfig eth1 up

"eth1 is the number of the card, if you don't have a network card then use eth0".
"use vpi and vci of your provider (8,35 is for italy).
Use adsl-setup to configure the adsl connections,
and adsl-start to connect (after loaded the module, wait 15 seconds before call adsl-start).

For PPPoA connections refer to http://bre.klaki.net/dagbok/faerslur/1037408322.shtml
and ignore the tips on the kernel.

Good luck !
