rp-pppoe assumes names all start with eth
Inflexibility in pppd parsing of interface names strikes again:
# pppd plugin rp-pppoe.so usb0
Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.
pppd: unrecognized option 'usb0'
/usr/share/doc/ppp/README.pppoe says
The effect of this line is simply to make "eth0", "eth1",
....,"ethx" all valid device names for pppd (just like ttyS0,
ttyS1).
Well isn't my
# ifconfig usb0
usb0 Link encap:Ethernet
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST...
just as valid?
Anyway, instead of looking for eth* usb* etc. on the command line, it
would be better to also allow if=usb0 or pppoe-if=usb0, etc.
