I assume that eth0 and eth1 come up,

The ADSL conenction is a PPOE connection started at boot time, with the
standard tools of FC3/FC4, I see lights on Ethernet modem blinking when
trying to connect, but I get a message after a while during bootup that
is can't connect
sbin/adsl-start line 217: 1847 terminated connect null 2>1
