   Does that mean that it is unable to do full bridging to PPPoE? I have not
bothered to switch off NAT yet, it just feeds straight on into a Linux based
firewall, and it seems to just work, and it always re-connects after loss of
ADSL from BT/Demon, so I have just left it parked by the incoming BT cable
and ignored it.
