Hoping to determine if PPPOE timeouts can be caused by 802.11 interference.

Specifically if wireless retransmission and specifically interface can
potentially cause pppope timeouts when acting as a bridge.

At this point it appears the physical location of the pc-engine results in
more frequent timeouts specifically the following error:

/bsd: pppoe0 LCP keepalive timeout

Placing the router towards the center of the room on a shelf has resulted in
35 days of uptime prior to the bridge failing & a manual DSL modem reset,

Moving the router to the floor in a corner has later resulted in 14 days of
uptime prior to a pppoe timeout.


The netstat statistics below do not seem to indicate a greater packet loss due
to the physical location

Hoping to clarify if additional diagnostics exist to help troubleshoot the
pppoe issue & asset in isolating the  802.11 as a potential cause or lack
there of.
