Hello Thomas, Did you get this working yet? (Have only just seen your message - catching up). We run rp-pppoe here, for fibre/vdsl, atop ppp, and on (still) a 2.6.37.x kernel. (It runs _very_ reliably; but then, the hardware infrastructure and upstream is good-quality. Overall, for this and some other purposes, we needed/wanted more control and more powerful hardware, than what common off-the-shelf stuff has (even with the likes of dd-wrt &c installed)). (I would agree with the 'surprise' that it's not still in blfs: but then, I'm always acutely aware that it's not my time that would be taken up in maintaining it there.) rgds, akhiezer -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
