Hi there,
I've written a patch to fix two subtle errors in the example file for
/etc/hostname.pppoe0 that prevent it from working.
Placing inet6 eui64 before the PPPoE parameters inadvertently brings
the interface up, after which the parameters can't be changed.
route add default fe80:: doesn't work either unless the -inet6 option
is specified, because incompatible address families arise.
Cheers,
Delan Azabani
