ADSL on 1.4_rc5?

Hi!

Is there any chance to get ADSL working after booting from the LiveCD?
It would be ... uhm ... very useful to have an internet connection

I played a little bit around with pppoed but always failed, because the device /dev/pppox0 does not exist. Even a mknod did not help.

Another way to get into the net would be IP-over-FireWire. But this doesn't work for me either (Gentoo Linux -> iBook with OS X -> Provider)

Any suggestions?

Yours,
Lars

You need the client not the daemon.

(See if RP-PPPoE is in the portage, it maybe, if not compile from the above link)

because I want to install from scratch and in case the rp-pppoe client is not on the LiveCD I cannot connect to the internet in order to download the rp-pppoe client =)
I guess I have to go shopping and get a DSL-router with NAT. Nevertheless it would be very useful to have ADSL support on the LiveCD.
As far as I know there is support on the x86 LiveCD because there is a script called adsl-setup. Unfortunately I found no such script on the ppc LiveCD
