Hey Laura,

OK, I see. The tun module available on vtun is really
outdated, tun module has been integrated into the kernel for
a while now... That's why pengfork is confused, it think you
have a recent tun module because it see the headers of your
2.4.18 kernel but you put an old one as module so it can't
be used.
Try to compile your kernel, with tun (CONFIG_TUN=m in the
section Network device support).It should solve the "Fatal
error" dumby message.
Now, for the PPPoE issue, I've got some report of French
users that login/pass I gave wasn't working so this seems to
be valable only in Germany :( ... Let me know if it works or
not...

Cheers,
JC

Again, thanks for your help.

I compiled the tun/tap module (got the source from
http://vtun.sourceforge.net/tun/) and followed all the
instructions in the README (./configure, make install,
modprobe tun, added 'alias char-major-10-200 tun' to
/etc/modules.conf), so I feel the module *should* be loaded,
but maybe it's not, maybe I'm doing something wrong?  I'm
not exactly a newbie, but I don't have much systematic
knowledge either.  So no, I'm not sure tun is working, but
I'm not sure how to figure out what is wrong.

I run Mandrake 8.2 on a Dell Inspiron 8100.  My current
kernel is a custom kernel from (Mandrake-customized) 2.4.18
source.

Laura
