This tool has only been tested on Gentoo Linux 2005.x. I won't guarantee that it will work for you.

To use this tool you need:

- a working DSL configuration using Roaring Penguin PPPoE >=3.5
- the Bash-shell version >=2 (should be part of your linux distro); the supplied script might work with other shells but I haven't tested it
- the tool "sudo" (get it at http://www.sudo.ws/ if your linux distro doesn't include it)
- the tools "ifconfig", "grep" and "cut" (should be part of your linux distro)
- a configured /etc/sudoers file (do that as root with visudo)
- a working KDE >=3 (I tested with KDE 3.5)

Depending on which linux distro you use, you may need to edit the file rppppoek.sh (normally located in /usr/bin) and adjust the paths to the used programs.


A note to RP-PPPoE 3.5 users:

You have to edit the file rppppoek.sh (normally located in /usr/bin) and change two lines:

RPC=/usr/sbin/pppoe-start
RPD=/usr/sbin/pppoe-stop

Change these to

RPC=/usr/sbin/adsl-start
RPD=/usr/sbin/adsl-stop
