Step 2: declare the ppp modules

In order to have a modem dialup connection working, you need to have ppp support enabled through the appropriate kernel modules (note: since v1.0-rc2, serial support is compiled in the kernel). You also need to declare the driver module of the network card assigned to your internal network. In the following example, this card is supposed to be a standard ne 2000 PCI card.

To configure 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
ppp_async
ppp_deflate

# Masquerading 'helper' modules
ip_conntrack_ftp
ip_conntrack_irc
ip_nat_ftp
ip_nat_irc

Important

The sample file above might be different in your own case: you might need another network module or some extra functionnalities. Adjust to your needs !

Backup the modules.lrp package.
