What other information could I collect if I find that PPPoE isn’t coming up reliably? re: HEnet tunnels not coming up. There’s an easier way to reconnect the tunnel by going to a HTTPS link. It’s described in the IPv6 Tunnel page on the wiki: http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/cerowrt/wiki/IPv6_Tunnel (Check out step 3, manually re-establishing the tunnel) Rich _______________________________________________ Cerowrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cerowrt-devel
