I'll need to set up to repeat the test case and probably want to also try it out on a couple of other processors I have available (an ARM11 MX31 and an x86 Atom as well as the PPC405). And of course, upgrade the version etc. Buildroot doesn't have the freeradius client in it, so I'll probably have to add that as well.

Hmm we might keep rp-pppoe for server-side functionality. Do you feel like migrating the package to the latest infrastructure and updating to the latest version? Regards.
