Topic
Updated rp-pppoe packages that fix various bugs are now available.
Description
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is a protocol used by many
Internet Service Providers offering DSL and ADSL connectivity. This package
contains the Roaring Penguin PPPoE client, a user-mode program that does
not require any kernel modifications. It is fully compliant with RFC 2516,
the official PPPoE specification.
This update includes the following fixes:
- a typo in the adsl-setup script was corrected.
- a bug was fixed in adsl-connect script that caused the default route to
be deleted in certain configurations
- suffixes of ipchains-based firewall configuration files were renamed
to .ipchains.
All users of rp-pppoe should upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.
