Openwrt and pppoe

Openwrt and pppoe

[Scott Howell]

     Folks, if anyone has used Openwrt and pppoe, I have a coupld of  
questions. I read over the docs, but was a little confused.
1. I get the impression its a matter of just setting it up in the  
router via set commands.
2. I then also saw reference to a pppoe package and was wondering if  
that is needed in addition to the setup commands or are they two  
separate means for configuring the router to do the same thing.

tnx
Scott

Scott,
I'm running OpenWRT White Russian 3 and did not have to load any additional 
packages to switch to PPPoE.

Yes, it's just a matter of setting up the necessary variables in nvram, 
committing, and rebooting.  Also, I had to reconfigure my DSL modem/router 
to run in bridge mode and just pass the PPPoE directly to the OpenWRT 
router.

If you have any problems, drop me a note or let me know and I'll give you a 
call.

THanks Jim, ok I did copy that info from the faq page which was  
incredibly helpful. The good news is at least I can unset everything  
if it doesn't work correctly. I'm not saving a pile of cash by  
switching to dsl, but I'm just so damned tired of the cable company  
as they can't run a business, its time to see what Verizon will do  
for me.
I'm going to ask them to send me a modem only, not the router. Thanks  
also for the offer of landline assistance.
