B. On the Airbridges to implement PPPoE, NO I did NOT say support I said
PPPoE, as in the ability to enter the clients username and password in
simplemonitor and it will authenticate the user. THIS WOULD BE A KICK A**
Feature and would definitely be worth it. Whats the practicality and
probability of this?
Are you asking for a "wireless broadband router"?
It makes no sense for a bridge device to act as a PPPoE client. For this to make sense, the airBridge has to do NAT/routing (and
perferably also act as DHCP server for client pcs).
As for practicality - you need to have a TCP/IP stack capable of routing (the IP stack currently on the device probably only supports acting as a client device - no routing support). You need a NAT implementation. You need a DHCP server. You need to implement a PPP/ PPPoE stack.
True - it would kick *ss, but it would require an entirely different firmware that has to be developed and tested (if it is even possible within the memory and CPU limits of the hardware) instead of just adding a single feature to the current firmware.
