Today I was asked
Quote:
Are you using kernel-mode PPPoE? I know some PPPoE servers do the PPPoE
datapath in userspace...
I use a stable Gentoo with sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.9-r2 and have these network settings:
Code:
n22 /etc/ppp # ls -l /etc/init.d/net.*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     6 Sep 15  2006 /etc/init.d/net.ath0 -> net.lo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     6 May 27 11:53 /etc/init.d/net.eth0 -> net.lo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30523 May 27 11:53 /etc/init.d/net.lo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     6 Oct 27  2006 /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 -> net.lo

n22 /etc/ppp # cat /etc/conf.d/net
# /etc/conf.d/net
#

#       LAN
#
config_eth0=(
        "dhcp"
        "192.168.0.254/24"
        )
dhcp_eth0="nontp"
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 15"


#       DSL
#
config_ppp0=( "ppp" )
link_ppp0="eth0"
plugins_ppp0=( "pppoe" )
username_ppp0="04012345678"
password_ppp0=
pppd_ppp0=(
        "defaultroute"          # Make this PPP interface the default route
        "usepeerdns"            # Use the DNS settings provided by PPP
        "maxfail 1"
)


#       WLAN
#
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_ath0="-Dmadwifi"
config_ath0=( "dhcp" )

dhcp_ath0="nontp nosendhost"
Does this means, I'v kernel-mode PPPoe ?

Yes.

[edit] By the way, I don't see the relevance of the question. What's the context of it?

Thanks.
I observe some issues with sniffed ppp0/eth0 streams of my ThinkPad T41 and now I want deliver as much information as possible to the kernel folks (and maybe wireshark peoples too).
