IPv6 over IPv4 over PPPoE?

[Matthew Darwin]

It seems that PPPoE can't deal with fragments.  All workstations on my
network have an MTU of 1400 so that all PPPoE driver has to do is add the
PPP header.

There is an module (mssfwclamp) that supposed to get rid of the MTU
problem for masquerading (so an MTU of 1500 on a workstation is not a
problem), but I'm not using this.
