I have two Internet connections, one is DSL and the other is Cable (PPPoE and DHCP respectively). There is no technical reason I can't run these both on the same physical ethernet port. PPPoE will run happily over an ethernet interface that has an IP address and communicates on an IPoE network.
The interface manipulation scripts don't support this very well though. Take for example prepare_interface() which is run when doing an ifup <iface>. It unconditionally does an ifconfig <iface> down which would interfere with dual use of the interface. Before I attempt to fix this situation, would any corrections in this regard be accepted into OpenWRT or likely rejected out of hand as just too funky a configuration? I suppose either way, I will probably attempt a fix and just keep them in my local repository if they are not accepted upstream. Thoughts? b.
