2021-06-05 Thread Martin McCormick
I have a plan but I need some more information. Is there any personalization done by the boot setup process? Do our UUID's or any other specific information pertaining to the installation make it in to the initrd files? While reading about the boot process, it doesn't appear that the ini

Hello, you can use PPPoE with rp-pppoe (kernel-modul). On my RPi 3 it has a better performance as run PPPoE in userspace. I do not know if it multiple cores. Am 05.06.21 um 20:07 schrieb Antonio: > Hi, > > I'm planning to setup a router and firewall based on debian for my home > lab. > > I know
