Hello all:
    I recently got signed up for Qwest DSL.  Currently the only working connection I have is on a Windows box.  :-(  I'm trying to get
it up and running on an older system running Mandrake 7.0, which I intend to make into a firewall.  First, I installed the Intel
Pro/100+ PCI card that came with the DSL installation kit.   This seemed to install OK; Mandrake automatically used the "eepro100"
driver; and I set it up as eth1.   Then I compiled and installed the Roaring Penguin PPPoE client; which seemed to go in OK.  The
problem is that the connection doesn't work; it always fails for some reason.    Roaring Penguin's "how-to" told me to run it in debug
mode, which I did (several times).  It produced a file which shows that, among other things, PPPoE is timing out waiting for
PADO packets, and it only gets three PADI packets.  (I don't know what those acronyms stand for.)   I then checked the lights on the
Intel NIC; it claimed to be running in 100 MHz mode, which is verboten for this PPPoE client.  I tried booting via a DOS floppy to
configure the NIC; but all Intel's stupid DOS program would do was verify that it was indeed running in 100 MHz and full-duplex.  So I
downloaded Intel's Linux driver off the website, and compiled and installed it, using the option to put it in 10 MHz half duplex-- at
least the 100MHz light went out.  Then in DrakConf, I replaced the reference to "eepro100" with "e100" (the new driver.)  I'm not sure
any of this got done correctly, but at least eth1 still shows up in ifconfig.
    Anyway, to make a very long story short, the thing still doesn't connect.  I've included the debug file in this message in hopes
that someone will know how to help me.  One odd thing-- since I've installed the e100 driver, an "eth2" shows up in the ifconfig
listing in the debug file.  Normally, eth2 doesn't show up at all, because I only have two NIC's on this thing.  Does this mean my NIC
is configured incorrectly?  Also, when it listed the modules, e100 shows up as "unused."  So maybe it's not actually using that module.


    I'm probably doing something dumb here, but I'm getting pretty frustrated.  I'd greatly appreciate any help anyone could give me;
many thanks in advance.

The debug file is attached; I'm not sure if this is will go all right on the list, but for some reason I'm unable to paste it into
Netscape. BTW, the version of Netscape I have that came with Mandrake 7.0 seems to be very buggy. I've heard people say good things
about Konqueror, which a web search tells me is part of KDE, yet it didn't install in my version of KDE. Is that a relatively new
thing?
