[AusNOG] Draytek 130 blank username/passwords

[Dmitry Konchanin]

It was ages ago, but I think I saw from time to time a combination of 
checkboxes on Draytek 120/130 itself that makes it do "own" pppoe 
attempt in parallel with PPPoE passthrough.
Try to change from pppoe to static for wan AND pppoe passthrough enabled?

Regards,
Dmitry
