Hi Guys,

Appreciate if anyone with similar setup can help. I couldn't get PPPoA to work. The ISP support both PPPoA/Vc-Mux & PPPoE/LLC but PPPoA is recommended

I already have openwrt backfire RC5 on buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH now connected via billion 5200SRD in bridge mode through PPPoE/w LLC. I'm now trying to get connected via PPPoA. I've already changed the bridge mode on the modem to use Vc-Mux encaps.

I have kmod-ppp-2.6.32.27-1, kmod-pppoa-2.6.32.27-1, ppp-mod-pppoa-2.4.4-16 to enable PPPoA, it's strange PPPoA is not working.

Here's my network config file:

config 'interface' 'loopback'
option 'ifname' 'lo'
option 'proto' 'static'
option 'ipaddr' '127.0.0.1'
option 'netmask' '255.0.0.0'

config 'interface' 'lan'
option 'ifname' 'eth0'
option 'type' 'bridge'
option 'proto' 'static'
option 'ipaddr' '192.168.1.1'
option 'netmask' '255.255.255.0'
option 'dns' '8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4'

config 'interface' 'wan'
option 'dns' '8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4'
option 'ifname' 'pppoa-wan'
option 'proto' 'pppoa'
option 'encaps' 'vc'
option 'username' '********@dsl2.iprimus.com.au'
option 'password' '********'
option 'keepalive' '3 5'
option 'mtu' '1462'

config 'switch'
option 'name' 'switch0'
option 'reset' '1'
option 'enable_vlan' '1'

config 'switch_vlan'
option 'device' 'switch0'
option 'vlan' '1'
option 'ports' '0 1 2 3 5'

Gargoyle does not support PPPoA.
I recommend that you go the PPPoE route.
