--- Comment #4 from Reinhard Max
hwinfo --dsl != --pppoe. Don't remember why, though.
Could it be that --dsl was meant for detecting DSL modems that are connected via PCI or USB and need some drivers and initialisation to get the DSL link up before you can start the PPPoE detection? (In reply to comment #3 from Ludwig Nussel)
I don't actually have a pppoe modem here. [...] Reinhard Max has a real one though.
No, I don't, because there is no such thing as a PPPoE modem. ;) The modem is just an ethernet bridge that doesn't care for the kind of ethernet frames it exchanges between the LAN and the ISP's network. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
