Re: How to set up wireless PPPOE connection? Howzit, Do you need to dial up for both of them?

Thats actually quite easy: In a terminal, setup your first connection: Code:
sudo pppoeconf

This will create a file called /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider Rename this file to your connection name, eg... Code:
sudo mv /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider /etc/ppp/peers/telkom

Then setup your second connection: Code:


sudo pppoeconf

This, again, will create a file called /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider Rename this file to your other connection name, eg... Code:
sudo mv /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider /etc/ppp/peers/bsnl

Then to connect to telkom: remember to remove all entries from /etc/network/interfaces regarding wlan0 to connect user sudo pon bsnl to disconnect sudo poff bsnl

Code:
sudo pon telkom

To connect to axxess Code:


sudo pon axxess

To disconnect: Code:

sudo poff -a

To check whats going on while you're waiting to connect: Code:


sudo plog

I'm not sure how to do it with the command line, but if you go System | Administration | Users & Groups, then select your username and click "Advanced Settings" then check the "Connect to the internet using a modem" under the "User Privileges" tab. Log out and in again and you'll be able to run all the commands without sudo. I use a telkom billion wireless router at home - we have a telkom account and another prepaid one for when we're capped. I run "pon telkom" to connect until we're capped, then I use "pon prepaid" This system works absolutely perfectly for us. No extra configuration is required on the wireless network - it just need to be connected, which works fine through network manager for me.
