FYI

v1.0.1 of the firmware corrects problems in the kernel that were causing many corporate VPNs to fail to be reachable after connecting. I believe this had something to do specifically with GRE or MPPE. At any rate, I've confirmed personally that MS PPTP VPNs are working as they should now, and have configured a simple setup in /etc/ppp to automatically connect me (and reconnect me) on boot, configure my own custom routing, and not prompt me for a password. It's a heavy bit of shelling though, I don't think the n00b world at large is ready for it.

For those who know what they're doing, all I can offer is this: noauth must be issued on the commandline, not in options.

very interesting !
