Appears to me that via hands out specs on a nda & case-by-case basis. Not
sure
why soekris decided to use those chips in the net-5501. Actually they use
via
rhine-III but they behave the same.
If you're routing to dsl you can workaround in pf.conf by putting a line
like
scrub out on $ext_if max-mss 1452
in the normalization section.

Hi Dorian
I'm aware of that option from reading the pppoe(4) man page, but I'm not too
keen on the side effects, hence why I was asking on the list about the
interface as I wouldn't mind testing a snapshot which did support it. The
system I'm going to be using is a jetway mini-itx board with a vr interface
built onboard & 3 re interfaces on a daughterboard, it'd be a shame to waste a
gigabit interface for the pppoe connection.
Use the suggested pf setting. It is the right way do handle it and
there will be no ill side effects.
