How to set up ethernet and pppoe
My firewall computer is showing problems, including a failed update from
wheezy to jessie, and I reported disk read error (according to smartd) so
I am trying to build a new machine. I have installed stretch on the new
system but I have got problems beyond my knowledge.
The install gave me a system with a network managed where I have always
used ifconfig and the like and /etc/network/interface and do not know
to remove the network manager and install the "legacy" tools. So I have a
lan interface but no potential wan.
The more detailed issue is how to configure the second Ethernet to support
pppoe. At present the new machine is on my desk but when I move it to the
WAN it will need to be running pppoe on the second interface or I will be
isolated from the world (and advice).
I also need to remove gnome which was installed in error and add the
iptable changes.
Help!
