Subject:   Native PPPoE broken (4.6-STABLE), RP-PPPoE working?!
Message-ID:  <200206232309.g5NN9asS001943@coal.sentex.ca>

I've been working with Mike Tancsa for the past little while,
trying to figure out why the new concentrators that are being
deployed in Canada are causing problems with some (notably
the FreeBSD) PPPoE implementations -- the end result being
horribly slow to nonexistant speeds.

After spending a couple of hours getting it to compile, I
got Roaring Penguin (latest release) and pppd-3.11 compiled
and installed on my 4.6-STABLE (June 17) box, and connected
it just fine.  Speeds are exactly as expected, and there's
*no* slowness at all.

So it appears that the in-kernel PPPoE implementation is
broken, and Roaring Pengiun's is working?  (Or that the
new concentrator is breaking from the spec, and causing
problems with the in-kernel implementation...)
