Is this only on 2.7 snapshots and not 2.6-RC?

I have several systems with PPPoE and L2TP WANs in my lab on 2.6 RC and they can connect OK.

That'd make sense, because I deliberately waited to merge https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/commit/fdcdd81fb82dfd8778e2c239162a596a756f236f until after the 2.6.0 branch was created. So I'd expect this to only affecgt 2.7.0 and not the upcoming release.

We don't remove ng_ether nodes any more, so dropping patch-verify-ng-ether-attch.diff (which attempts to re-create it) from mpd5 should suffice to fix this issue.

Hello, I week ago PPPOE WAN did not work (I did report that in the forum). Today I felt comfortable enough to try the update :)

I can report that the patch works for me.
