The routing code has changed, and so had the pppd code; now it can auto connect and do all sorts of other nifty things. OS's have an agreed upon interface from user apps to kernel code. Unfortunately, in order to give you new features, the interface has to be renegotiated as the kernel and user space code is changed. If you are anti-download (it would be, I believe, about a disk worth of stuff), then you can get the 2.0.5 CDROM real soon now.
