As news to me DD-WRT version 23 release candidate 5 was released on 11/22/07.
From a brief use of the new firmware I can say that I am happy to say that the PPPOE now finally works. It has been a long time in the works and there is still a lot of bugs that need to be ironed out before anything will come of it for a production environment. All in all the firmware appears to have a finished look and the new bandwidth meter is a nice touch.
Some of the minor bugs I came across are
- PPPOE doesn’t like to connect when the router or network has a name
- Port forwarding doesn’t work all the time
- Bandwidth meter doesn’t display correct information in the LAN section
- Wireless security section at times doesn’t accept modification
From what I can tell the firmware is nearing completion and should be complete probably sometime withing the next 2 months or so, although that statement is just speculation and is subject to change.

With every drop of rain we get the more we look forward to the snow. Some of us keep prepared by having firewood chopped and oil tanks full, while others look for blankets and coats to keep them warm.
