PPPoE works fine[1], but you need the netinst, not the business-card image. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_install_via_PPPoE.3F (and the following item) > I'm using PPPoE for my ADSL modem to connect Linux to the Internet, > it's easy to do and a very fast and good connection, but ad-hoc to an > iPad 2 doesn't work. You probably know that, but just to make sure: your modem most probably already takes care of PPPoE. You only need Debian to do it if you want to use the modem in bridge mode. [1] the biggest ISP in Romania makes heavy use of PPPoE, since they provide either ethernet or cable with "dumb" modems only.
