Michal and I are working on cleaning up things. The code that michal
posted is important for any one trying to do "PPP over X" -- the pppoe
code is being used as an example. Hopefully, folks doing L2TP, PPPoATM,
Bluetooth etc are reading this.
The plan is to get feedback soon otherwise the code will be submitted to
Davem based on experiences of two people. Testers are very welcome.
As Andrew said PPPOE is getting very important; definetely has to be
there in 2.4 as well as 2.2
cheers,
jamal
