Feature changed by: Yasha Gindikin (SlonoInquisitor) Feature #309322, revision 5 Title: L2TP support in openSUSE openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Yasha Gindikin (slonoinquisitor) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Please, add the xl2tpd package to the installation DVD and official repository, and provide a way to configure the L2TP connection through the Network Manager and Yast. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Currently, many internet providers switch from the older Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) to a newer one, called Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP). This transition is especially noticeable in Russia, where both large and smaller ISP companies tend to obtrude it without any alternative upon the end-user. However, the support for L2TP is totally missing in openSUSE. Specifically, the xl2tpd package to provide the support is absent in official repositories and has no assigned maintainer. Which is a shame, since most solid distribution, including Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and Mandriva, have this package in - their repos. Then, no support for L2TP is provided in Network Manager. - Generally, there is not any configuration tool for L2TP in openSUSE, - apart from manual tuning the text configuration files. The situation - should be improved. + their repos. Then, no support for L2TP is provided in Network Manager + and Yast.
