Not mac related post...

...about how I woke up my Orinoco RG-1000 and configured it to support the PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) and work together with Nokia M5122.
About tools - for mac I used AirportBaseStationConfig utility and for windows Freebase and Orinoco AP manager 1, 1.90 that has latest build of RG-1000 firmware.

Updated my RG-1000 firmware since it seems that existing version on RG did not support PPPoE. I had to use crossed ethernet cable and to set IP on computer to 153.69.254.1 after I put RG to force reload mode. Firmware update was also needed since after I configured it to call via PPPoE it did not allow me to access it anymore since it restarted in every 5 sec.
With combination of using Freebase and AP manager I succeded to upgrade the firmware. Not clear how I exactly did it.

Then enabled ADSL (PPPoE) and entered username/password. I have the slow "you have to log in" ADSL. Now RG-1000 keeps connection up all the time. Enabled DHCP and NAT. Internal IP set to 192.168.0.1 and same to DHCP router section.

Notice that when PPPoE active, lower led on RG-1000 is on!
