Thanks for that assurance. Is HEAD always stable enough to at least avoid 
bricking the router? I note that there’s also some enthusiasm for LEDE, but I 
don’t think that all installs of homenet work.

That’s pretty much where I got to for pppoe, although I wasn’t (still amn’t?) 
confident that I understand what ‘interface’ does within OpenWRT, especially 
if/how it stacks up use of different ifname’s within /etc/config/network and 
/etc/config/wireless. I have noticed that WAN/LAN and WAN6 have special 
meanings: WAN6 is not aware of all protocols, for instance. There are also 
oddities such as WAN_6 which seem to appear.  I believe that the _orig_ifname 
is an artifact of Luci. But I could be wrong.

Ok. And clearly hnetd in particular will have moved on.

Any insight into how I can get the hnetd use of dhcp to send the clientid and 
vendor class identifiers (options 61 and 60) as these are used by my isp to 
establish the connection? I think that they also have some timing constraints 
relative to dhcpv6 exchange.
