Also with having "PPPoE Router" as Package Collection enabled? Sorry
for me being to lame testing it right now. ;)
Then I don't think this is as intuitive as it should be.

Yes, I agree on that. We could also set the default (failsafe and so on)
IP address to 192.168.1.2, so if it's plugged into a network with the
same subnet mask it won't disturb the already existing gateway (whose IP
most often ends with a '1'). Next step could be to integrate some
zeroconf stuff by default.
But let's get serious again: if one built a router for DHCP access, the
wan-port can be used (although I wouldn't want to guess the IP it gets),
and when a router for PPPoE, it's quite likely that either the local
network will shortly being ripped down anyway, or it doesn't exist yet
at all. 
@tg: this is only my opinion (the _personal_ one), so nothing to get mad
about. :P

Could also be a topic for public discussion. (Yes, what we are doing
right now.)
