I used to use userspace PPPoE before my line was upgraded from ADSL to VDSL2. I could not use synchronous mode for the reasons that are well documented on the interweb. So relatively high CPU load (which was fine back then). This is the main thing that I had to change to get things working properly upon the upgrade to VDSL2 (initially 16 Mbit/s a couple of years ago; the upgrade to 25 Mbit/s is much more recent): I switched over to using kernel-mode PPPoE. >> - the box was getting just too crashy under load; > > Unfortunately 177 reboots since April first. 30s watchdog.

But not in my case; my problem remained with several different power supplies, some significantly bigger than the Soekris could ever need. As I said I have now moved most of my wireless traffic off this box's wireless interface and onto the Asus AP (which is still running the proprietary firmware at the moment). My wife's company laptop is the only machine that still uses the Soekris as an AP. She works from home a lot (including video streaming etc), but it seems that if the wireless machinery in our house isn't also pumping traffic at the same time the box is much more stable. _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
