Topic: Problem with Asus wl500g premium and eth1

Hi!

I got a problem with my router: After flashing my new router with Kamikaze, I wondered why pppoe doesn't work. After booting in failsafe to have a closer look at this issue, I discovered a very strange behavior:

root@(none):/# ifconfig eth1 192.168.9.1 up
root@(none):/# ping 192.168.9.1
PING 192.168.9.1 (192.168.9.1): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Invalid argument
root@(none):/#

What's wrong?
Thanks

Power cycle and boot the router in normal mode...

Since the problem was occurring in a normal boot, and the user booted in failsafe only to look more closely at the problem, I'm not sure what you're achieving here.  What did I miss?

Which image did you flash, exactly?

I can up eth1 manually, but it's not required, for pppoe to work, so it's usually down. On my ASUS with Kamikaze 7.09, 2.4 kernel version (2.6 does not work!). I can ping it fine though, after upping it.

Whats your complete network configuration like?
