I think it will not work like that. You can't use eth1 as it is only for an
ethernet card (or a modem modeled like an ethernet device : eagle-usb
driver)
You have to choose kernel-mode driver (with speedtch ) or user-mode program
(with pppoa3)
before call the pppoe procedure :
- with the kernel driver, you need to use br2684ctl (and br2684 kernel
module) to set a bridge with a 'nas0' interface
in perl, I do
my $itf='0';
my $device = "nas$itf";
if (open(FILE, ">${swroot}/red/device")) { print FILE $device; close
FILE; }
$netsettings{'RED_DEV'} = $device;
if (system ('/bin/ps -ef | /bin/grep -q [b]r2684ctl')) {
system ('/sbin/modprobe br2684');
system ('/usr/bin/br2684ctl', '-b', '-c', "$itf", '-e',
$pppsettings{'ENCAP'}, '-a',
"$itf.$pppsettings{'VPI'}.$pppsettings{'VCI'}");
sleep 3;
}
system ('/sbin/ifconfig',"$device",'up');
- with the user-mode program, you need to use tun/tap to set a tap0
interface
in bash script, I do
/sbin/insmod tun
/usr/sbin/pppoa3 -b -c -m 1 -vpi $VPI -vci $VCI

You could try to play with -r option of modem_run. This will simulate
Rev=0.00 or Rev=2.00.
I suppose you can try with -r 2 but I am unsure of the result, display of
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices look somewhere different than with a Rev 2.00 (and
I don't know too much about usb interfaces)
I suppose that if 530 has exactly the same usb interface than a Rev 2.00, it
would have not be numbered with Rev 3.00
