Hello Güven,
of course there is pppoeconf with the netinstaller. i just didn`t know
that you have to load the modules ppp-udeb... I am sorry! ;)
There are two methods of configuring pppoe connections:
- with a netinst via pppoeconf
- with any image except the miniiso via ppp-udeb
You have initially asked for the first method, and I suggested the
second as an alternative. The first one should work at the moment, while
the second waits for an upload of the package that includes the fixes I
made.
so I read your advice discribed like in [1] and moved the
/usr/lib/pppd/2.4.4b1 to /usr/lib/2.4.4. after that I tried to configure
an start a pppoe connection but it failed again. the error was that: no
concentrator was found. after trying several times the same, the
concentrator was found, I was asked for the PPP-login and PPP-Passwort
but a connection could not be established.
and it is impossible to wget

without a connection
Indeed, stupid me, is a chicken and egg problem :-D (/me assumed that
most people have also an Ethernet connection next to the PPPoE one;
maybe you could download the file on a floppy..). Anyway, I will try to
provide a custom image that fixes the issues in the next days. if you
would like to use that image for tests I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
