I am curious, in pppoe(4) this example is given:

That is too easy.
Took me all of two minutes to bridge my modem - "RFC2684 BRIDGING"
instead of "PPPoE BRIDGING" - and do the /etc file changes.
Happy as Larry (possibly happier) using pppoe(4).
All I need to work out is hostname.pppoe0 INET6 wildcards. Especially

Guten arben.
I am wondering what the pros and cons are for using DHCP or PPPoE for
connecting to an ISP via an ADSL modem.
I expect like a lot of people I set my modem in bridge mode using PPPoE.
In my particular case I use the DHCP server on the modem to assign an
IP address to my desktop machin
