Telenor ADSL with linux fails to connect
Problem:
This article describes some steps required *in* *addition* *to* the ones mentioned in the documentation included with pppoed on the ADSL driver CD.
 
Solution:
First, add the following lines to your "/etc/conf.modules" file if not already present:

alias char-major-108 off
alias /dev/ppp off
alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async
alias tty-ldisc-14 ppp_synctty
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate

Then change your username in "/etc/chap-secrets" and "start-pppoe" from just the plain "username" to "username@online.no", e.g. change "andrlu2" to "andrlu2@online.no"
