• PPP over ATM (PPPoATM)
• CAPI for ADSL (Fritz Cards)
• Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)—Austria
In the DSL Devices tab of the DSL Conguration Overview dialog, you will nd a list
of installed DSL devices. To change the conguration of a DSL device, select it in the
list and click Edit. If you click Add, you can manually congure a new DSL device.
The conguration of a DSL connection based on PPPoE or PPTP requires that the
corresponding network card be set up in the correct way. If you have not done so yet,
rst congure the card by selecting Congure Network Cards (see Section 21.4.1,
“Conguring the Network Card with YaST” (page 329)). In the case of a DSL link,
addresses may be assigned automatically but not via DHCP, which is why you should
not enable the option Dynamic Address. Instead, enter a static dummy address for the
interface, such as 192.168.22.1. In Subnet Mask, enter 255.255.255.0. If you
are conguring a stand-alone workstation, leave Default Gateway empty.
TIP
Values in IP Address and Subnet Mask are only placeholders. They are only
needed to initialize the network card and do not represent the DSL link as such.
In the rst DSL conguration dialog (see Figure 21.7, “DSL Conguration” (page 348)),
select the PPP Mode and the Ethernet Card to which the DSL modem is connected (in
most cases, this is eth0). Then use Activate Device to specify whether the DSL link
should be established during the boot process. Click Enable Device Control for Non-
root User via KInternet to authorize the normal user without root permissions to activate
or deactivate the interface with KInternet.
In the next dialog select your country and choose from a number of ISPs operating in
it. The details of any subsequent dialogs of the DSL conguration depend on the options
set so far, which is why they are only briey mentioned in the following paragraphs.
For details on the available options, read the detailed help available from the dialogs.
