Stable version of rp-pppoe (rp-pppoe-3.8-r2) does not detect kernel-mode PPPoE support mode. Here's relevant string from: ebuild rp-pppoe-3.8-r2.ebuild clean compile checking for Linux 2.4.X kernel-mode PPPoE support... no At the same time unstable rp-pppoe-3.10-r1.ebuild detects it well. checking for Linux 2.4.X kernel-mode PPPoE support... yes Update stable version pls. Working patch may be found here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8498 Reproducible: Always

Currently net-dialup/rp-pppoe does not build kernel plugin but only installs symlink to very old plugin which comes bundled with net-dialup/ppp. Can you fix this?
With 3.13: checking for Linux 2.4.X kernel-mode PPPoE support... yes I only found this because it triggered automatic loading of the module in question right from the sandbox: [85331.663632][T32401] PPP generic driver version 2.4.2 [85331.663632][T32401] PPP generic driver version 2.4.2 [85331.871619][T32401] NET: Registered protocol family 24 [85331.871619][T32401] NET: Registered protocol family 24
From ppp-2.4.9 README: * The rp-pppoe plugin has been renamed to pppoe, to distinguish it from the upstream rp-pppoe code. Its options have changed names, but the old names are kept as aliases. Since ppp-2.4.9 plugin renamed to pppoe.so
I'm working on a PR for https://bugs.gentoo.org/715396. And found this. For the other bug, a simple fix is a one-line change to the Makefile to update PLUGIN_PATH=pppoe.so (and then update the ebuild to not install ANYTHING into /etc/ppp/plugins. Binaries IMHO doesn't belong there anyway. However, based on this bug there seems to be a need to use the plugin from rp-pppoe. There are two things here: Using the ppp plugin means we don't need to actually remerge rp-pppoe when ppp gets remerged (it's small and quick though). I will need to test, but I believe ppp can be bumped to purely RDEPEND. If we use the rp-pppoe.so from this package, then we do need to remerge. ppp remains in RDEPEND as well as DEPEND (as current, should be :=). Currently it's := purely to correctly update the symbolic link (which is now broken anyway). This is currently a compile-time option for rp-pppoe, and looking at the ML I doubt we will get support in changing this from upstream side. I don't mind a patch if there is demand for it, but my suggestion is to add a USE flag that selects between using the pppoe plugin from ppp package, and the rp-pppoe plugin from rp-pppoe package. For the case where we use the rp-pppoe plugin, I also recommend we install into the correct plugins folder (/usr/libX/pppd/${ppp-PV}/) rather than /etc/ppp/plugins. If this is not desirable I recommend just using the one from ppp as per current, and just adjusting the build to work out of the box rather than being broken out of the box. I've already looked into the required, so happy to do a PR, just need guidance on what would be preferred, my recommendations above.
Just so all is clear: 3.15-r1 will use the rp-pppoe.so plugin (which ships with rp-pppoe package). To vary this will require some C code changes, which I'm happy to do, if there is demand. As you can deduce from time of posting previous comment till now - it's been somewhat busy on this end.
