Help with PPPoE

[jfj <jfj@freemail.gr>]

Hi.

I have kernel 2.6.17.13 with "PPP over Ethernet" compiled in (not a module)
and pppd 2.4.4b1.  I have added the option "plugin rp-pppoe.so" to
/etc/ppp/options.

Now when I type

	pppd eth0

I get

	unrecognized option 'eth0'

But wasn't the plugin supposed to enable this device?

If I use this script in /etc/ppp/peers/mydsl

	#
	# PPP over Ethernet options (using roaring pinguin external program)
	#
	plugin rp-pppoe.so
	noauth
	# pppoe has a lower mtu/mru
	mtu 1492
	mru 1492
	# switch off all compressions (this is a must)
	nopcomp
	# this is recommended
	novjccomp
	noccp
	debug

And run

	pppd call mydsl

Nothing happens (pppd can't even be interrupted with ctrl-c) and
/var/log/messages sais:
