I just said goodbye to my old install of PCLinuxOS and installed openSUSE 10.2 an hour ago and now I’m ready to throw it away. Reason? No default support for PPPoE. I spent almost an hour trying to figure out how to get my ADSL connection working, without any luck whatsoever. When I booted back into Windows and checked online, I found out that I needed to download and separately install an RPM to get PPPoE working. Not what I would expect from what is supposed to be a corporate standard distribution. Next in the line of fire: Mandriva 2007
I am sure you must have missed something. I already have deployed openSuSe on more than 5 machines, two of which were on ADSL, and I didn’t had to download any rpm for them. PPPOE was working out of the box.
By the way, your recent finding sections is good. I like the idea.
Would you mind telling me how to go about it?
You can change your PPPOE settings from Yast’s DSL module.
