I just repartitioned my 4G hd to make room for grml 0.7, which installed
without a hitch & automatically recognized the Belkin network card.

Setting up the internet connection with grml-network was super-easy,
was able to connect to my DSL provider and to the web with w3m.
"pon dsl-provider" and "poff" brought the connection up & down.
I ran "apt-get update" at this point.

Then, after re-booting, "pon dsl-provider" replied:

Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.
/usr/sbin/pppd: In file /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider: unrecognized 
option 'nic-eth0'

So I edited /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider and commented out the line "nic-eth0",
tried "pon dsl-provider" and got a connection. Then, after 
re-booting, pon failed
to initiate a connection:

% pon dsl-provider
Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded

% ifconfig ppp0
ppp0: error fetching interface information: Device not found

% plog
May 22 22:38:17 grml pppd[3460]: Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.
May 22 22:38:18 grml pppd[3472]: pppd 2.4.4b1 started by john, uid 1000
May 22 22:38:18 grml pppd[3472]: sendPacket: send: Network is down
May 22 22:38:18 grml pppd[3472]: Exit.

At this point I have to run "grml-network" after each re-boot to get 
a connection.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Regards,

John
