Fortunately, the fix for the issues reported by users have been included. Unfortunately, the major improvements haven't been included. > Also, I very much doubt I will want to change the support for pppoe so > late on the road to the Etch release.

I agree and understand your position. Unfortunately it has been outside my power to speed it up (Marco was the only person who could have done it by a faster upload). I also agree that is _undesirable_ at the _current_ state of the ppp-udeb to include it by default since: - it didn't got enough testing - it included a changes that supersedes netcfg's priority when is loaded (on the reasoning that that main served scenario is now installation via the most common type pppoe - pppoe used with an unconfigured Ethernet interface and there is no reason to try DHCP for this scenario) - in order to have include by default, ppp-udeb should be loaded by netcfg via the dedicated menu entry from netcfg, and such logic does not exist now, or is not enabled/configured for ppp-udeb (I will look at this later, in any case, this is an etch+1 issue) > Of course, the ppp udeb will remain available from the "load additional > components" dialog.

Probably is best to make a call for tests of this feature? - -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFRgrnY8Chqv3NRNoRAm30AJ9GIZeOgC1Gt9aIPvpgPPjDyjh6GgCeN6jx 8LKgiEufezftXoAnBMspoFo= =6oKn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
