It's not so easy to disable a configuration in /e/n/i then don't hesitate if you have idea/patch to deal correctly with that. > * uses virtual interface name after auto > * may create both ppp and manual configuration It's how pppoeconf works for now. It could probably be improved (see below my comments about your "Option 1"). > * may have both "auto eth0" and "allow-hotplug eth0" Yes, I corrected it: http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/pppoeconf.git;a=commitdiff;h=03bc0714f84dceb5ffcb1898133e3845a2655760 > I expect simple pppoe connection should have one of the following as > /etc/network/interfaces: > > Option 1: (I think this is best) > |auto lo > |iface lo inet loopback > | > |auto eth0 > |iface eth0 inet ppp > |pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up > |post-down /sbin/ifconfig eth0 down > |# create ppp0 interface which connects via eth0 connection > |provider dsl-provider I agree that it could be the best /e/n/i. Before changing it, I must ensure: - to have a perfect transition from etch and from sarge, - to have a valid comportement with kernel_pppoe =1 and =0, - not to have conflicts with current network configuration (your proposition uses eth0 for PPPoE interface, but it's not easy to disable current eth0 configuration as I said above). I'm waiting your comments before hacking...
