You can use ppp with eap using the X.509 certs with ppp.

The other alternative is to port the changes in xl2tpd to l2tpd.

Without this code, there is no way that multiple users behind the same NAT,
or multiple users on the same NAT'ed IP behind different routers will work.
It is simple missing the SA references to distinguish the connections.
