Now ,My Problem:
I got broadband type pppoe via telephone lines of dataone ISP ,India.
I usually use bridge mode(dialer from Linux) to connect.
With Atheros L2 card ,I suspect DSL Link Light disconnects and reconnects exactly at 5 minutes intervals.also ,sometimes "pppoe-discovery" command shows no core server port address(via telephone exchange port).
The telephone exchange fellows already checked for any line noise,ports problem etc and resolved a slight line noise problem.
Still ,I counted in stopwatch that *exactly* at 5 minutes DSL link in Router(GLB-802C D-link made) disconnects and reconnects.Router also checked by D-link service centre here for problems and nothing observed.
I blamed ISP for all these problems until my friend's PC was connected on my house via dataone ISP and no such 5 minutes DSL link Light down/disconnection problem observed.He got a Realtek 8369 onboard ethernet card.
Is there anything can be done to resolve my problem with atheros L2 card? ,should I need to spend another 200Rupees(5$) for another cheap realtek pci card ?
Please help and Thanks.
