Hi, all,

I was considering doing that, but I kept the userspace code. The reason is
that on some platforms, such as uclinux on a processor without an MMU,
the dlopen() system call is not implemented, so there's no way to use
a plugin with pppd. One user asked me to keep the userspace code, so I
did.
But you are correct in that 99.99% of Linux users will not need to download
rp-pppoe if all they want to do is connect to the Internet using a PPPoE
client.
Regards,
Dianne.
