xDSL settings can be set-up using the network::thirdparty structure, that is to say using the generic infrastructure that allows to match network devices and their firmware/packages/modules settings. It now also includes ppp settings, and makes all the remaining bits of the old DSL module unnecessary.

The network::xdsl module also contains generic protocol-related settings, because latest xDSL drivers seldomly require specific configuration.

cable and dvb have a quite empty implementation for now, but it will be completed soon.

So, now that we got a nice generic layer, and an implementation for both xDSL and mobile data devices, it's time to rebuild interfaces using it.

I started to add hooks for these generic steps in the drakconnect wizard. Compatibility structures allow to keep the old steps for wirelessethernet configuration, but there days are now counted.
