Could you help me find the problem with PPPoE on my Asus router? It used to work with DDWRT firmware and original ASUS firmware, but I like OpenWRT very much and I'd like to set it to work with OpenWRT. Please provide suggestions.

#cat /var/log/ppp
Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded
Timeout waiting for PADO packets
Unable to complete PPPoE Discovery

So what could be wrong? PPPoE was configured through LuCI GUI. From the Asus wl500gPv1 documentation in Oldwiki I see that my wan interface should be "vlan1" - is this correct/eth0:1?

/etc/config/network

config 'switch' 'eth0'
        option 'vlan0' '0 1 2 3 5*'
        option 'vlan1' '4 5'
...

config 'interface' 'lan'
        option 'type' 'bridge'
        option 'ifname' 'eth0.0'
        option 'proto' 'static'
        option 'ipaddr' '192.168.1.1'
        option 'netmask' '255.255.255.0'

config 'interface' 'wan'
        option 'proto' 'pppoe'
        option 'type' 'bridge'
        option 'keepalive' '10'
        option 'username' '********'
        option 'password' '********'
        option 'ipv6' '1'
        option 'ifname' 'eth0.1'

My router is ASUS WL500gPv2 (8MB flash, 32MB RAM)? My OpenWRT firmware is OpenWRT Kamikaze 8.09.1 svn commit r16206. Firmware filename is openwrt-brcm47xx-squashfs.trx.

UPDATE:
I updated the ppp config files to include debug options:
root@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/ppp/options
debug
logfile /var/log/ppp.log
noaccomp
nopcomp
nocrtscts
lock
maxfail 0
lcp-echo-failure 5
lcp-echo-interval 1
root@OpenWrt:~#

/var/log/ppp.log with debugging set on:
