Hi Michael,

Looking at the code, to make the MTU stick would require some script changes, 
but you could test...

After boot edit /tmp/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf

You should see something like:

PPPD_EXTRA="persist maxfail 0"

You should be able to add pppd options to that, something like:

PPPD_EXTRA="persist maxfail 0 mtu 1452 mru 1452"

(Or try 1460)

Then restart PPPoE.

(Note 1452 is 1412+40)

If that works we could add a rc.conf variable to add the mtu/mru options.

Lonnie
