I suppose the question is when is CE 2.8 coming out.

I have back ported a fair bit from unreleased 2.8.x changes on both web code and kernel to my install, but back porting this kernel module is too much of a bridge.

They released 2.8 beta, snippet of the change log regarding pppoe.

Code: [Select]

This version of pfSense CE software includes a new kernel-based PPPoE backend, ``if_pppoe``. This will replace the current MPD-based implementation.

    This new backend is more efficient and enables much faster speeds over PPPoE interfaces.
    This new PPPoE backend is not active by default in this version, but can be enabled with the global option under System > Advanced on the Networking tab <if_pppoe_option>`.
    This backend will be enabled by default on future versions of pfSense software.
    The ``if_pppoe`` backend does not support all advanced features of the MPD implementation. For example, it does not support MLPPP.

I will not be rushing into this, it seems to be a higher than normal risk for in place upgrading.
