Hello, first of all, thanks to the authors for Bering. Great stuff (only suggestions are to include other useful stuff, e.g. ifconfig.lrp or a tiny ftp client, in the extra packages area).
I've been trying to use Bering (kernel 2.4.18) to set up a firewall that connects a private home LAN to a PPPoE ADSL connection with Telecom Italia (the main provider in Italy). Everything works fine, except that I have problems with MTU settings. To make everything work I have to ensure that the MTU of all packets that go through ppp0 is set to 1452. AFAIK this should be accomplished by the -m flag on the <<pty "pppoe...>> statement in /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider, but it doesn't work. I've also tried manually the command specified in http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/HOWTO/netfilter-extensions-HOWTO-4.html#ss4.6 (with --set-mss 1412) but no result. But if I manually change the MTU value on the interfaces of the PCs on the internal LAN, everything works fine. So I'm just wondering whether the tcp-MSS patch is actually included in the Bering kernel, or whether is there any extra module I should install and load (I looked in the Bering modules download site on sourceforge but didn't find anything). Thanks, -- vb.
