Commit 9c707762 ("packet: make packet_snd fail on len smaller than l2 header") added validation for the packet size in packet_snd. This change enforces that every packet needs a header (with at least hard_header_len bytes) plus a payload with at least one byte. Before this change the payload was optional. This fixes PPPoE connections which do not have a "Service" or "Host-Uniq" configured (which is violating the spec, but is still widely used in real-world setups). Those are currently failing with the following message: "pppd: packet size is too short (24 <= 24)" Signed-off-by: Martin Blumenstingl <martin.blumenstingl@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
