What is there to gain by applying a pppoe patch? Really curious here as it
is rock solid. It has gone down 2x in 3 months. It came back up when I
restarted the services--I made a script to do this.

If there is an advantage to upgrading I will, otherwise, I'm pinning my
version to what works. I don't wish to go through the hell of setting it
up again.
