Please consider this a feature request - it would be useful to connect via PPPoE over WiFi without having to carry around a router (with rechargeable battery!). It's easy to do on a laptop (has been standard in XP for a long time; recent Ubuntu can do it via NetworkManager as well), and should be so easy on the N900 too. I'm running a small local wireless ISP in a rural area, and I can tell you that PPPoE over WiFi is quite a common setup. Lack of native PPPoE support in the N900 kernel is no big problem, as PPPoE can run completely in user space (kernel mode still offers better performance, but let's make a first step and improve it later).
