ASG 8.202 pppoe connect problem

theRat_01
Firstly I think this is a Astaro bug/config problem.
 
Put simply after installing 8.202 it refused to connect to my ISP.  I am using pppoe with my modem in bridge mode.  Using a windows clinet I can set up a pppoe connection and everything is just fine and I was previously using 7.5xx with no problems, so the hardware/cabling is all ok.
 
What I found after inserting a tap and grabbing a few wireshark captures is that most of the time Astaro is sending  PADI broadcasts without a host-uniq tag, these are responded to by the ISP correctly but Astaro then ignores them.  Occasionally astaro includes a host-uniq in the PADI request and then a connection is established.
 
Why does ASG only include the host-uniq tag randomly when it appears to be required?
 
This has been driving me nuts for days now.  If the dev guys are watching I can provide packet captures if it would help.
 
Cheers
Simon

    Can't see a problem here. Have a look at /var/chroot-pppoe/bin/DSL.sh:

    We first check if there is a remote PPPoE server reachable by calling pppoe-discovery,
    which sends PADI packets WITHOUT Host-Uniq tag.

    If pppoe-discovery is successful, we start a pppoe session WITH Host-Uniq tag.

    Can you check again and verify, that your ASG sends PADI with Host-Uniq tag which are not replied?
