Hi:
I've noticed the IPCP loop problem too since upgrading from woody
to sarge. I dug around and found that the handling of IPCP reject
messages of the addresses option has been broken. Upstream 2.4.3
has a fix for it.
Here is a backport of the 2.4.3 fix.
However, I don't think this is what'll fix Tobias's problem. He
seems to need an option which makes my patch (the one that
terminates the negotiation if we don't agree on an address)
optional.
Cheers,
