In order to have a PPPoA connection working, you need to have both ppp and pppoatm support enabled through the appropriate kernel modules. You also need to declare the driver(s) module(s) of your network card(s). In the following example, we assume that the external connection to the Internet is provided by a Madge Ambassador ATM/PCI card while the internal network goes through a standard ne 2000 PCI card.

All the modules which are necessary for ppp support are provided on the standard Bering floppy. You just need to "declare" them since they are not loaded by default. As far as the pppoatm module is concerned you will have to download it from the Bering-uClibc modules CVS area and store it in /lib/modules.

ATM drivers are available here.

To declare your modules, go to the LEAF Packages configuration menu and choose modules. Enter 1) to edit the /etc/modules file and enter the following information:

# 8390 based ethernet cards
8390
ne2k-pci

# Modules needed for PPP connection
slhc
ppp_generic

# PPPOA support
pppoatm

# ATM-PCI "st" drivers
ambassador

# Masquerading 'helper' modules
ip_conntrack_ftp
ip_conntrack_irc
ip_nat_ftp
ip_nat_irc

Backup the modules.lrp package.
