Need help with PPPoE on OpenSUSE 13.2 KDE
Hello!
When I used Ubuntu 14.04 I had some issues configuring PPPoE, but I found the way by using pppoeconf command in terminal. See, I use Wi-Fi to get to the Wi-Fi access point (it's NOT a Wi-Fi Internet, but a WIRED one). And from Wi-Fi access point (it's technically Wi-Fi DSL router that's being used as a switch/bridge) there's RJ-45 PPPoE connection that goes out to the ISP. What was happening in Ubuntu is that first I established a wireless connection (WITHOUT any Internet yet!!!). Then I went to the terminal and used sudo pppoeconf command. That command was first checking eth0 and couldn't find anything (since my PC wasn't using Ethernet), then it was checking wlan0 and found PPPoE on it and Ubuntu proposed me to enter my ISP credentials and after that Internet connection was established. AGAIN (I know some ppl don't get it), it's NOT a Wi-Fi Internet (like McD's hotspot kinda thing!), it's a WIRED PPPoE (not a regular DSL PPPoATM or whatever it is). It's just purely for convenience (my cat used to chew the cables) I used wireless link from my laptop to the Wi-Fi modem (DSL Gateway acting as a switch ONLY). And from that device there's a RJ-45 cable to the ISP.
NOW... How would I do the same in OpenSUSE 13.2 KDE? Some people mention YaST and there to make a PPPoE DSL connection, some say since there's no pppoeconf in SUSE then to use rp-pppoe, somce suggest to install pppoeconf from other distros...
