The biggest problem, in my case, is whether the technology WORKS. I've
been trying PPPoE between two boxes running 4.3-RC2 for several days now,
and it either hasn't connected or has caused kernel panics every time.
I suspect that the problem is in the "Netgraph" code because of the error
messages I'm seeing.
Until I can get PPPoE working, I'll have to assign unregistered addresses
to the machines at the ends of the tunnel and do NAT. The machines
behind the router at the far end of the tunnel will be "NATted" twice....
Slow, but I've got to get the link up.
