PPPoE v6-only on OpenBSD


Just sent the first few thousand packets over an IPv6-only PPPoE uplink provided by rh-tec.
Config on OpenBSD with bge0 as the physical interface connected to the DSL modem:

ifconfig pppoe0 pppoedev bge0 authproto pap peerproto pap \
  authname 'thename' authkey 'secret' up

After a few seconds, pppoe0 receives a Router Advertisement and gets it's prefix. The rest is plain sailing (ssh -6 and so on).
