kernelized pppoe in 3.7

1. Any particular reason your systems have not been updated in at least three years? 2. Kernel defaults are generally chosen for a reason. Unless you have evidence of resource exhaustion, turning knobs generally won't make things better, and could make them worse. On Thu, Jun 14, 2012 at 12:31
