Thanks for your comments!
I was aware of several PPPoE implementations, but your link points to a
good review.
I don't think we'll have time to implement a kernel-based PPPoE solution
for Mandrake 7, as we're in feature freeze right now.
PPPoE will be included in the 2.4 kernel. Until then, the compromise would
be a user-space solution.
Anyone tried the one from: http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe.html ?
