Thanks for the heads up on that one.
I just setup my openwrt router (Linksys WRT54GS for the record) to get  
it's ip through DHCP discovery whilst spoofing it's mac address to be  
equivalent to the Home Gateway one and I was rewarded by the ONU  
granting me a DHCP lease.
Thanks a lot you saved me a lot of time sniffing packets between the  
Home Gateway and the ONU.
Now I just need to order my alix board[1] and install pfsense on it  
because the WRT54GS is clearly underclocked to get all the speed out  
of KDDI's hikari one. Hopefully 500 MhZ AMD geode should do the trick.
