Well if the modem does PPPoE itself (and preusmably NAT) then you need no
speical support from the OS. From its poitn of view you are just conencted
via ethernet.
If you need the machine to do PPPoE, ppp supports PPPoE. For this to
work, though, you need netgraph, which isn't in GENERIC. You will need
to make a custom kernel and build your own set of custom floppies.
Happily, kernel configuration is no longer necessary for PPPoE. If the
necessary netgraph support is not built into the kernel, it will be
dynamically loaded by ppp (See handbook section on PPPoE).
Yes, but with floppies, the kernel modules aren't available, are they?
Am I missing something?
