Hi,

I'm looking a way to connect my router via an ADSL2+ modem (my router does
not have an ADSL interface); once upon a time I was able to connect via
pppoe in a similar situation but now I'm having problems

can someone please confirm that it's possible to connect OWRT to internet using
and external ethernet ADSL modem?

I'm using BARRIER BREAKER (14.07, r42625) on a Netgear WNDR3800 router
connected to internet via an ADSL2+ modem/router (Sitecom); the wan
interface (on the Netgear) is configured via DHCP and the modem/router
connects via pppoa to my provider (only supporting pppoa) provding NAT
between the router and internet

I would like to raplace the modem/router with a pure modem (TP-Link TD-8616)
in order to manage my pppoa connection directly on my Netgear... but I'm
having problems

the router is connected to the modem on the eth1 (wan) interface, the modem
is connected to ADSL (checked via web interface) and the "wan" interfaces of
this modem - PVC0 and PVC1 - are connected

I have both ppp-mod-pppoe and ppp-mod-pppoa packages installed

if I try this pppoa configuration (in /etc/config/network):

  config interface 'wan'
        option iface 'eth1'
        option proto 'pppoa'
        option username 'XXXXXXXX'
        option password 'PPPPPPPPPP'
        option atmdev '0'
        option encaps 'vc'

I can see a lot of processes running and closing, if running "ps w | grep
ppp" many times consecutively

  11094 root      1416 R    {ppp.sh} /bin/sh ./ppp.sh pppoa setup wan 
{"proto":"pppoa","username":"XXXXXXXX","password":"PPPPPPPPPP","
  root@tulipe:~# ps | grep ppp 
  11419 root      1432 R    {ppp.sh} /bin/sh ./ppp.sh pppoa setup wan 
{"proto":"pppoa","username":"XXXXXXXX","password":"PPPPPPPPPP","
  11421 root      1356 S    grep ppp 
  root@tulipe:~# ps | grep ppp 
  11501 root      1444 S    {ppp.sh} /bin/sh ./ppp.sh pppoa teardown wan 
{"proto":"pppoa","username":"XXXXXXXX","password":"PPPPPPPPPP
  11506 root      1356 S    grep ppp 
  root@tulipe:~# ps | grep ppp 
  11588 root      1444 S    {ppp.sh} /bin/sh ./ppp.sh pppoa teardown wan 
{"proto":"pppoa","username":"XXXXXXXX","password":"PPPPPPPPPP
  11591 root      1356 S    grep ppp 

I'm not able to debug the ppp connection, "logread -f" doesn't help

the wan interface status is always:

     root@tulipe:~# ifstatus wan 
        {
           "up": false,
           "pending": true,
           "available": true,
           "autostart": true,
           "proto": "pppoa",
           "data": {

           }   
      }

if I try using pppoe this is the result:

  config interface 'wan'
         option iface 'eth1'
         option proto 'pppoe'
         option username 'XXXXXXXX'
         option password 'PPPPPPPPPP'

 root@tulipe:~# ifup wan

 root@tulipe:~# ifstatus wan
 {
        "up": false,
        "pending": false,
        "available": false,
        "autostart": true,
        "proto": "pppoe",
        "data": {

        },
        "errors": [
                {
                        "subsystem": "interface",
                        "code": "NO_DEVICE"
                }
        ]
 }

no ppp processes are running and no log in "logread -f"

please how can I debug the connection to see what is going wrong?


best regards
Giovanni
