There are already a warning when /e/n/i appears to be invalid after pppoeconf modification. I agree that I could add a warning everytime before set modifications. > I was using the portable system with a router before and > network-manager-gnome. Wanting to access the Internet using directly a > DSL modem I could not get pppoeconf to set it up to work. Please provide the broken files (/e/n/i, dsl-provider, chap-secrets, pap-secrets) and log messages about failures. > I than adapted /e/n/i to proposal 1 in [1] and probably had a > authentication error afterwards. Deleting chap-secrets and pap-secrets > and rerunning sudo pppoeconf solved it finally for me. I don't really understand your problem: was it just a password issue? > PS: Is there a possible set up to use a Router by default (with DHCP) > and just when issuing pon to connect over a modem directly? (For the > cases with a notebook for example.) It requires probably a complex /e/n/i or high-level tool (netconf? NetworkManager?). For sure, pppoeconf won't help you for this setup.
