And the missing bit is the PADS packet (which we're expecting from the
PPPoE server).  Here, the netgraph node is resending the PADR after 2
seconds of inactivity, then dropping back to sending a PADI all over
again.

Interestingly enough, the PADR doesn't seem to have the Service-Name
or Relay-Session-ID tags that the PADO has - perhaps that's what's
causing the problem...  certainly the PADO handling code that sends
the PADS calls scan_tags() which is supposed to copy tags not already
handled from the PADO into the PADR.

Julian, have you any comments on this ?

Cheers.
