I have used net-dialup/ppp to handle the authentication with the ISP's RADIUS |
| 21 |
server, but retained the ADSL modem (or router in fully bridged mode) which |
| 22 |
performed the ATM encapsulation, on a G.DMT (ITU G.992.1) connection. |

I used /etc/conf.d/net to configure ppp like so, while : |
| 25 |
=============================================== |
| 26 |
#PPPoE configuration |
| 27 |
config_enp11s0=null |
| 28 |
config_ppp0="ppp" |
| 29 |
link_ppp0="enp11s0" |
| 30 |
plugins_ppp0="pppoe" |
| 31 |
username_ppp0='my_ISP_user_name' |
| 32 |
password_ppp0='my_secret_passwd' |
| 33 |
hide-password |
| 34 |
pppd_ppp0=" |

enp11s0 is the NIC with which I connected to the ADSL modem. |

Your ISP should offer some settings in case the above are not appropriate for |
| 51 |
your connection. |
