Package: ppp Version: 2.4.5-5.1+b1 Followup-For: Bug #684164 Hello,
Since this bug was originally reported, rp-pppoe 3.11 has been released, which reports compliance with RFC4638 and so allows 1500B MTU on PPPoE connections (so long as all the hardware supports the intermediate Ethernet MTU of 1508B as well). I grabbed the new source from [1], grabbed the PPP headers from the Debian source package, and set it off compiling, then dropped the resulting rp-pppoe.so into /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.5 and re-started my PPPoE connection. It worked like a charm - the link came back up with a 1500B MTU straight away (previously, it wouldn't negotiate more than 1492 by LCP regardless of what was requested in the peer file). The newly compiled rp-pppoe.so accounts for the debsums warning at the end of this report, for reference. The split between rp-pppoe package and ppp seems a little unusual, but I can see why it might have been done. I think the request to update rp-pppoe.so from rp-pppoe 3.11 should remain attached to ppp, since the ppp package carries the resulting binaries. given how easy it was to just compile against existing headers, I think this fix should be fairly easy to apply to the official Debian builds, too. Give me a shout if there's anything I can do to help. All the best, -Dave.
