I haven’t tried on Feroda core based linux.

If you are using Ubuntu 8.04 or later then type ‘ppoeconf’ in your terminal.
** pppoecong = Point To Point Over Ethernet CONFiguration
Peer To Peer Over Ethernet CONFiguration

The program will automatically detect your interfaces (in my case 2 interfaces for single router. I connect my router through LAN and USB both at a time). Answer some questions i.e. few clicks on yes, then you have to enter your username, to the next step your password. Again 2 clicks on yes. Now it will ask you question about your connection like
1. To activate connection on every system startup.
2. Do you want to activate connect right now

My suggestion will be, answer them “no”. On last screen it will show you the commands to activate and deactivate the connection. use them.

If you want make bash/shell file to start and stop the connection
here are the instructions

Make two files

**In file codes, there’s no problem if you replace “bash”by “shell”. It will still act the same.

codes are here:
filename : BSNL start.sh

!#/bin/bash
pon dsl-provider

filename :BSNL stop.sh

!#/bin/bash
poff -a

after making these files, to make them executable enter this commands

chmod +x BSNL start.sh
chmod +x BSNl stop.sh

By mistake if you entered wrong information and wizard has done its work, don’t worry. again type ‘pppoeconf’ in your terminal

Hope this will help you all…

I have installed Ubuntu 10.04. It seems to have a setup different from what is explained here. Could you help me to connect DataOne in Lucid Lynx?
