Re: WiFi and PPP support

[José Queiroz <zekkerj gmail com>]

Hi,

It isn't usual to have a direct DSL connection which is both cabled
and wireless.

Seems that you have some device between your DSL connection and your
wifi net. This device is, in general, a router.

All you have to do, using a router, is connect your DSL modem to the
router's WAN port, and configure the router to autenticate the PPPoE.
This is a very confortable setup, as you don't need to worry with
PPPoE in the local machines.
