I have a USB ADSL modem which is currently running on a desktop system. The modem uses the Nortek development version of the eciadsl driver. It took me a while to get it working about 12 months ago on an FC3 system, and I currently use it by calling the startup script as root. There are two phases to connecting. The first is to synchronize the modem and create a tap interface; the second is to create a ppp link using rp-pppoe. In my original script I added /sbin/ifup ppp0 after tap0 was set up. What I would like to do on my current gentoo system is have the synchronization and tap0 interface setup/pulled-down when the modem is plugged/unplugged, and have an on-demand ppp0 setup using the normal adsl network configuration scripts in gentoo. The /dev/net/tun device is, I believe, created outside the udev system. I am running 2.6.12-gentoo-r1, udev-058, hotplug-20040923, coldplug-20040920. /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is /sbin/udevsend. Should I be using udev rules to set this up? In either case, can you point me to some documents that will explain the details. (The documentation I have seen is keyed towards /dev setup and naming, naturally.) Thanks, Peter -- Peter B.
