Hello all,

I wanted to propose to the speedtouch developers a little improvement in
the connection script, in the form of a patch. What i am proposing is
extending the configuration file to include 3 more entries, namely:

 * CONN_MODE: the connection mode, pppoe/pppoa
 * VPI
 * VCI

When the speedtouch-start script is called from hotplug system then the
network interface, in case of PPPoE connections, should be brought up,
to allow programs like pppoe-conf work with it as a perfectly normal
ethernet interface.

I wanted to use the opportunity to ask the following, is it true that
when pppoa3 is called and creates the tap0 interface it outputs to
stdout the created interface? If so then there's a minor alteration on
my patch so that the vnet variable points to the actually created
interface, to avoid problems with multiple tap interfaces.

Thank you for your time,

Tiago Cogumbreiro
