Ok i tested the code myself and it works just fine, it wil be commited
soon. What i would like, is that you users, write a nice doc
explaining how to use pppoa3 in pppoe mode. It's more or less the same
as pppoa mode but it has some specifities because of the rp-pppoe
configuration.
What i've changed in rp-pppoe debian default conf :
- add 'sync' option to the pppd peer file
- add '-s' option to the rp-pppoe command line pty command.
- use tap0 instead of eth0 as ethernet device
What must be changed in current stusb doc to connect in pppoe mode :
- install rp-pppoe and add the stusb specific options explained before
- run pppoa3 as a standalone app
$ pppoa3 -b -c -m 1 -vpi xx -vci yy
- launch the pppoe connection
I see no real benefit in using pppoe where pppoa is accepted by your
ISP. The only possible real gain could be done if merge of modem_run
and pppoa3 was made. This way, when you initialize the modem a virtual
eth device (tap0) would be upped and ready for use by rp-pppoe, just
like when you do "ifconfig up eth0" for real eth devices...
Feedback would be welcome from usual stusb hackers... and users of
course
PS : i don't post the patch here because it's not really useful as it
is now. I wait for a real update, man page + doc + code.
