I've seen these issues but I didn't have enough time to come to a sane conclusion in order to report it. IIRC rp-pppoe in core has the same problem. pppd[27117]: Plugin /usr/lib/rp-pppoe/rp-pppoe.so is for pppd version 2.4.5, this is 2.4.6 Bug report at: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/39007 -- Arthur Țițeică signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Besides rp-pppoe, pppd-ldap also needs a rebuild (the plugin is still for 2.4.4, so I wonder if a single person ever used it). I also wonder why rp-pppoe is still in core. It provides no essential functionality that netctl+ppp don't. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

It provides no essential >functionality that netctl+ppp don't. I'm using an arch box as a firewall router. I have verizon fios connection that still uses pppoe. Recently the pppoe connection upload bandwidth went down to < 50kbps (normal is 25Mbps) but ok download bandwidth is still around 58Mbps. During boot pppd 2.4.6 is started and the message RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.8d compiled against pppd 2.4.6. Something is now broken and I don't know what it is. I switched over to using the fios router = works OK, switched over to a archlinuxarm on utilite - works OK, mostly. I built a new firewall router on another box with new network cards, and it has the same problem. Which leads me to conclude that something is wrong in the pppoe. The setup I use is close to the arch wiki on pppd, which use the rp-pppoe.so plugin. Can you explain how netctl+ppp can replace the rp-pppoe plugin. Thanks Wayne S
