That's a good thing to know.

I know. We also tried to report one bug there, I think about 3 years 
ago. I think Iordan got an answer by mail then, but no fix :-(

It's sad that this project seems to "die" though, given the fact that 
(at least in germany), PPPoE is still use pretty often in DSL routers, 
and many of them use linux.

Of course we "can", but this means a) effort and b) giving up the 
initial hope of having zero changes against the original sources to let 
bugfixing be a simple matter of copying the fixed original sources. But 
then again, it seems like we can forget that :-/

In any case, your work is much appreciated!!
