Hi,
I want to know how to configure/launch a PPP over Ethernet connexion
(response or a pointer to documentation). I don’t have a PPPoE hardware
so I can’t try it by my own.
I want to know if there is a way to use a converter and driver (made by
me) that will use PPPoA.
I already have an empty convertor from PPP to “ATM AAL5” and a driver
that provide this.
I launched io-net and mounter tcpip, pppmgr, pppoa and my “atm” driver.
In the /dev/io-net directory, I can find: ip0, ip_ppp, ppp_atm, atm0. So
I think I have the complete chain… But I dont know how to go further.
I could not find helpfull information on the helpviewer.
Thx for your help.

You also need a “ppp producer” (ppp0 in /dev/io-net), because
ip_ppp is a converter, and ppp_atm is another converter, you
need to have a “pass through” producer to connect them.
First of all, make sure you driver did a proper advertise,
and ppp_atm converter also pass that to upper layer.
You can try by starting pppd as:
pppd /dev/io-net/atm0 192.168.0.1:192.168.0.2
and see if there is packet goes to your ppp_atm converter.
(your converter’s rx_up() will get called with a npkt)
