How is 'pppd' launched while starting
in [Debian]

From: Guo Jiahua on 30 Jul 2010 17:40 Hi, everyone, I'm a user of DEBIAN 5.0. And I use adsl to connect to the Internet. I think pppd is the key program to connect. My ISP requires a MAC address which is different from my laptop. So, I think, I must change the MAC address (by using command "ip link set ethX address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX") before pppd launched when starting up Thus, I wander how is pppd launched while linux starting, by a script in '/etc/rc*.d/' or in other way.

Please give more details about your setup. ADSL implies you have some modem, but those usually don't care about your MAC. Do you have an ethernet cable from your ISP going directly to your computer and then you have to use PPPoE? Have a look at /etc/network/interfaces and 'man interfaces'.

So, basically you want to clone the MAC address of one device to another, right? I've read about that option which is mostly included in some neutral routers (wan routers for adsl and cable). Check if that helps: *** Working with MAC addresses http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/501 *** Not sure if that will also work with "pppoe" links :-? BTW, I think network scripts are placed under "/etc/network/if-up.d/*" or "/etc/network/pre-up.d/*". Additional information: *** 5.5.11. The PPPoE connection http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch05.en.html#_the_pppoe_connection *** Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Is this MAC adress the one for your home gateway router or your home gateway router limits you only to this? > So, I think, I must change the MAC address (by using command "ip link > set ethX address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX") before pppd launched when starting > up > Thus, I wander how is pppd launched while linux starting, by a script in > '/etc/rc*.d/' or in other way. > Thank you very much. Does your system connect directly by pppoe? If ISP supplys gateway machine, you may need dhcp to connect to it. I know some home wireless router limit MAC address.

From: Guo Jiahua on 1 Aug 2010 03:10 Hi, everyone, My problem is solved, by editing '/etc/network/interfaces', and insert a command: iface ethX inet manual pre-up /bin/ip link set $IFACE address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Thanks for all of you for your help, especially Andrei Popescu, Camaleón, and Osamu Aoki. 在 2010-07-31六的 05:20 +0800，Guo Jiahua写道： > Hi, everyone, > I'm a user of DEBIAN 5.0.
