Need WAN-miniport PPPoE connection!
I've been going through a bunch of distros, as well as some *BDS', but no one seem to deliver this feature in order to connect to the internet.
From Windblows I do this to connect, and it's EASY: I find my wireless network with the correct SSID in the network list, I click on it to connect, I provide the correct WPA key, now that alone is not enough to let me get to the net - I need to create a new connection through PPPoE - I use the username that my internet provider gave me, as well as the same WPA key - then, when that's done, I am online! Sort of like a dial-up, just not with the number you've gotta call. A username and password is enough!
In Linux this not that easy at all, as far as I've seen... Which distro can give me this feature? I am all out of ideas after Ubuntu 7.04, Fedora 7, SLED 10, Foresight 1.3, Sabayon 3.3, DesktopBSD, OpenBSD and so on, did NOT include this feature. I yet have to try Arch though, could that work maybe?
PS: I got two wireless devices, one RaLink 2500 internal card, and one Surecom EP-9001-g USB adapter. Both wireless.
I hate to be stuck in Windblows...
Need help...
Thanks!
