[speedtouch] Re: Patch for pppoa3 to support PPPoE bridge under FreeBSD

[Jose Bernardo Silva]

May I add some info? I use linux (mandrake MNF), but I managed to get a
working connection with the 330. Our ISPs in portugal all use PPPOE, PPPOA
doesn't work at all. Looking at my howto, I call pppoa3 differently, but I
don't know if that is because I am using linux and not FreeBSD; anyway, here
is my pppoa3 command line:

/usr/bin/pppoa3 -vpi 0 -vci 35 -b -e 1 -m 1 -c

Slightly different from the one both my countrymen posted here; I can't check
right now what does every switch (I'm at work, no linux here, unfortunately),
but I hope this helps.
