I've been using pppoed in the past but i've migrated to mpd because i 
had problem with broken pppoe clients from lan which break pppoed 
server, making pppoe server unusable.

Yes, I'm using rasppoe on client side but if instead of "*" service I 
assign a name to the service, raspppoe is unable to find the pppoe service.

This is a tcpdump for 2 situations: with "*"  as service name in mpd and 
with an assigned name instead of "*"


this is the case with a service name

   1.
      22:41:09.081502 PPPoE PADI [Service-Name] [Host-Uniq
      0x5253504500000000E0D3063307E4C601]


this is the case with "*" service name (working version)

   1.
      22:47:18.170867 PPPoE PADI [Service-Name] [Host-Uniq
      0x5253504500000000609A050F08E4C601]
   2.
      22:47:18.175976 PPPoE PADO [AC-Name "wanna"] [Service-Name]
      [Service-Name "*"] [Host-Uniq 0x5253504500000000609A050F08E4C601]
      [AC-Cookie 0x006942C6]

The problem with * is that if i have 2 pppoe servers, users connects 
randomly to one or other server, I want some of customers to go to a 
server, some to other, that's why I don't want to use *
