RP-PPPoE now supports kernel-mode PPPoE on Linux kernels 2.4 or newer.

Here's what you need to do:

1) If you are running pppd older than 2.4.0, upgrade to the newest version.
Make sure you have the pppd development files installed.

2) Unpack rp-pppoe.

3) In the rp-pppoe directory, change to src/ and type:

	./configure --enable-plugin

4) Type make; make install

5) Use the "plugin /etc/ppp/plugins/rp-pppoe.so" pppd option.

The rp-pppoe.so plugin adds the following command-line options to pppd:

ethXXX                          -- Use interface ethXXX as Ethernet interface
brXXX                           -- Use interface brXXX as Ethernet interface
nic-XXXX                        -- Use interface XXXX as the Ethernet interface

rp_pppoe_service SERVICE_NAME   -- Specify desired service name
rp_pppoe_ac NAME                -- Specify desired access concentrator name
rp_pppoe_verbose 0|1            -- Print names of access concentrators

rp_pppoe_sess nnnn:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff -- Attach to existing session 'nnnn'
                                on AC with Ethernet address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
                                This skips the discovery phase.

rp_pppoe_mac aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff -- only accept PADOs from specified MAC address

The kernel-mode PPPoE plugin permits an MTU of up to 1500 on the PPP
interface providing that the MTU on the underlying Ethernet interface
is at least 1508.
