Subject: [9fans] PPP error: cannot write IP - link not up
Date: Mon,  5 Mar 2007 09:52:05 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1173084659.144385.71720@8g2000cwh.googlegroups.com> (raw)

hi!
I have a problem with the direct PPPoE connection to my ISP.
I have a realtek 8139 NIC and wrote ether=type=rtl8139 in my
plan9.ini.
The kernel knows my NIC at startup. Until there everything is
allright.

There is no /net/ipifc/0 when the system just started and when I go on
and type:

ip/pppoe -dP
ndb/cs
ndb/dns -r

the error gets reproted in my ppp logfile.
PPPoE cannot write the IP. That is clear to me, because the interface
is not up.

If I bind the ether0 manually ( echo bind ether /net/ether0 > /net/
ipifc/clone) a "0" interface gets created. But PPPoE creates another
one "1". when I cat status of "1" there is no ether device.
Under "1" everything is there. Also my dynamic IP adress, there is
just no device for all that stuff...

What can I do to tell ip/pppoe to just use my formerly created "0"
interface?

Thanks for your help.
