Hi, sorry in advance for this lengty post. I'm trying to get a E-tech USB ADSL modem working
with Versatel in the Netherlands. This modem is based on the Conexant AccessRunner. Firmware
download is OK. I get a working ADSL connection (both led's lit) but PPPD keeps reporting
"Address already in use". I know I need the following settings for Versatel;
VPI: 0
VCI: 32
Encapsulation: VC mux
Protocol: PPPoATM
Modulation: G.lite
I'm using Suse 9.2 with a 2.6.11 kernel;
Vigor20:/proc/net/atm # uname -a
Linux Vigor20 2.6.11.3-2 #1 Sun Apr 3 01:38:21 PST 2005 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
When I try to activate the link as follows;
Vigor20:/ # modprobe br2684
Vigor20:/ # br2684ctl -b -c 0 -e 1 -a 0.0.32
RFC1483/2684 bridge: Interface "nas0" created sucessfully

I tried the same thing with Kinternet/Yast, but this produces the same result.

The ADSL connection seems OK.

I would appreciate any suggestions you might have. I'm trying to get this to work for weeks now, and must have read everything on this subject ;-(
You mix PPPoE and PPPoA settings. don't set both together!
With PPPoA, you don't need to bridge with br2684 stuff.
br2684 is only necessary with PPPoE.
Gilles,
Thanks for your reply. This was actually very helpful. Got it working now.
