Bingo! Many thanks Pete, indeed it is 10 in the router configuration but for some reason it didn't click when I set it on the PC.
I did manage to set it on a Fedora 24 installation. With the Network Manager nevertheless. With the Ubuntu installation (16.04 MATE) I couldn't make it work. What I did in Ubuntu was: # apt-get install pppoe pppoeconf vlan # vconfig add enp3s0 10 # cat /proc/net/vlan/config VLAN Dev name | VLAN ID Name-Type: VLAN_NAME_TYPE_RAW_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD enp3s0.10 | 10 | enp3s0 # pppoeconf (no joy, could not find Access Concentrator, so I forced it to use enp3s0.10) # pppoeconf -I enp3s0.10 (went through the questions) # pon dsl-provider # plog [...]pppd[10884]: Bogus PPPoE length field (4359) What am I missing?
