2.4 pppoe just not working

[Gaccm]

here is what i've done:
i untared 2.4.6
i ran iptables make patch-o-matic
compiled the kernel
started to compile pppd 2.4.1
i followed the commands in the Roaring Penguin PPPoE docs for 2.4 kernels
but 1) i cant get an internet connection using their software.
2) using some script i have been saving i was able to get connceted, but couldn't do anthing (like ping ip address, its not a DNS prob) well its 3am, and i've spent the last 30hours thinking/working on this, i sure hope someone can help me.

p.s. should i try another pppoe client?

i dont know if you are having the same problem i was having but try adding
alias char-major-108 ppp_generic
alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async
to your /etc/modules.conf

[Gaccm]

yeah i already have those

Do a 'DEBUG=1 adsl-start' and check out the debug file in /tmp. It should tell you what's going on.

The common problem I've had is that my /etc/ppp/options file had stuff in it, but it should be empty.

i tried that, first it says "debug cannot be used with pppoe plugin" but i quicklu commented it out, the log file wasn't that usefull (i think), i'll post it in a bit.
