Implement a secondary connection-reestablishement mode, which is only

Collect both local and remote address and set them to the interface in
one step (the peer adress was not set at all before).
This causes the peer address now to show up on the interface and all
messages to the routing socket to be send with correct data. The latter
has been the last missing piece to complete PPPoE support.

Since the code is to make sure aligned access to IP header and requires

Of course, ping _should_ have been at 0% packet loss anyway, and that's the

Add capabilities bits that indicate an interface can only perform

network interfaces. This works by pre-computing the pseudo-header
checksum and caching it, delaying the actual checksum to ip_output()
if the hardware cannot perform the sum for us. In-bound checksums
can either be fully-checked by hardware, or summed up for final
verification by software. This method was modeled after how this
is done in FreeBSD, although the code is significantly different in
most places.
We don't delay checksums for IPv6/TCP, but we do take advantage of the
cached pseudo-header checksum.
Note: hardware-assisted checksumming defaults to "off". It is
enabled with ifconfig(8). See the manual page for details.

based on the existing net/if_spppsubr.c stuff.
While there are completely userland (bpf based) implementations available,
those have a vastly larger per packet overhead thus causing major CPU
overhead and higher latency. On an i386 base router, running a 486DX at 50MHz
my line (768kBit/s downstream) was limited to something (varying) between 10
and 20 kByte/s effective download rate. With this implementation I get full
bandwidth (~85kByte/s).
This is client side only. Arguably the right way to add full PPPoE support
(including server side) would be a variation of the ppp line discipline and
appropriate modifications to pppd. I promise every help I can give to anyone
doing that - but I needed this realy fast. Besids, on low memory NAT boxes
with typically a single PPPoE connection, this implementation is more
lightweight than a pppd based one, which nicely fits my needs.
In this mode, the PPP packets start with the protocol identifier and don't
have any explicit framing (which may be added by the lower level driver).
Make input/output statistics a little bit more correct by adding a hardware
driver adjustable framing length for each packet (instead of the constant
value "3" used before).
While there, bump authentication name length from 32 to 48 (I have a
connection where I need more than 32). XXX - this should not be artificialy

someone with more clue about netiso-over-ip, please help.
the link level name for the interface (ifp->if_sadl) is allocated
before ifp->if_addrlen is initialized, which could lead to allocating
too little space for the link level address.
Do this by splitting allocation of the link level name out of
if_attach() and into if_alloc_sadl(), which is normally called
by functions like ether_ifattach(). Network interfaces which
don't have a link-specific attach routine must call if_alloc_sadl()
themselves (example: gif).
Link level names are freed by if_free_sadl(), which can be called
from e.g. ether_ifdetach(). Drivers never need call if_free_sadl()
themselves as if_detach() will do it if it is not already done.
While here, add the ability to pass an AF_LINK address to
SIOCSIFADDR in ether_ioctl() (this is what caused me to notice
the problem that the above fixes).
