-OPENWRT PPPOECD NOTES
-=====================
-
-1. GENERAL
-----------
-
-This package is used to estabilish basic connection to the
-Internet via DSL/ADSL modems. This is also known as the
-PPPoE or PPP-over-Ethernet connection.
-
-The PPPOECD program included in the OpenWrt distribution is a
-modified version of the PPPOECD that is present in the original
-Linksys firmware.
-
-This modified version is directly supported by the OpenWrt
-startup scripts.
-
-2. BUILDING
------------
-
-If you have a pre-compiled PPPOECD package, skip this section.
-
-PPPOECD can be built in two ways. As an integrated part
-of the OpenWrt FLASH image or as an .ipk package that can
-be installed separately.
-
-To build PPPOECD as an embedded component, add "pppoecd" to the
-TARGETS variable in the main OpenWrt Makefile before the
-"openwrt-bin" value.
-
-To build as a standalone package, add "pppoecd" to the
-PACKAGES variable in the main OpenWrt Makefile.
-
-3. NVRAM variables
-------------------
-
-In order for the PPPoE link to be established by the networking
-scripts the following NVRAM variables must be present:
-
-wan_ifname Should be set to: ppp0
-
-wan_proto Should be set to: pppoe
-
-pppoe_ifname Set it to the WAN interface on which the PPPoE
- is to function. On a 2.0 or a GS model it is
- usually vlan1. The 1.0 and 1.1 models used vlan2.
-
-ppp_username User name for your PPPoE connection.
-
-ppp_passwd Password for the connection.
-
-ppp_redialperiod Time between reconnect attempts.
- Usualy set to 30.
-
-ppp_idletime Time the link has to stay dead before reconnecting.
- Usually set to 5.
-
-wan_mtu The Maxumum Transfer Unit for the PPPoE connection.
- Typically 1492.
-
-Please consult the OpenWrt WIKI or the forum for more
-information on NVRAM variables.
-
-
-4. STARTUP / SHUTDOWN
----------------------
-
-OpenWrt will attempt to connect using PPPOECD when starting up.
-The script responsible for that is /etc/init.d/S40network.
-
-You can also manually start the PPPOECD by doing:
-
- ifup wan
-
-Similarly you can shutdown the PPPOECD by doing:
-
- ifdown wan
-
-
-5. CONFIGURATION
-----------------
-
-PPPoE firewall configuration is the standard OpenWrt configuration
-in /etc/init.d/S45firewall that applies to all the other types
-of connections to the Internet.
-
-Additional actions can be performed when connecting or disconnecting
-by modifying "ip-up" and "ip-down" scripts in the /etc/ppp directory.
-
-When connecting, PPPOECD creates /tmp/resolv.conf file that contains
-DNS server entries as supplied by the ISP. The standard ip-up
-script will also add a default route leading via the PPPoE link.
-
-6. DIFFERENCES FROM THE ORIGINAL PPPOECD
-----------------------------------------
-
-The main difference is the location of files. Original Linksys
-PPPOECD operated almost exclusively in the /tmp/ppp directory. This
-however prevents any persistent configuration of the program via
-ip-up or ip-down scripts. Also the program itself was located in
-/usr/sbin whereas OpenWrt scripts expect it to be in /sbin directory.
