        I got hit with that this morning myself.
        I'm on the livecd for the stable version now and in comparing
        /var/etc/mpd.conf

        i see on the livecd

        set bundle authname "medonthackme@att.net"
        set bundle password "h4x0rsupREEM"

        my /var/etc/mpd.conf on my 1.2.3 used "set auth" and system logs showed that's not a valid command.
        I'm going to edit my mpd.conf and see if i can drop and reload the interface.

        my mpd.conf keeps getting overwritten, i'd like to find the source php script or whatever function writes to this file so i can change it there.
        still new to pfsense but loving it!

        ..i'll be back

          Hi, it happened to me too. I can not connect to the Internet via PPPoE anymore since I installed yesterday’s and today’s pfSense-1.2.3.-Snapshots on my box. The earlier Snapshots worked just fine, though. Getting back to one of them solves the problem for me, but I am interested in a more future-oriented general solution for this shortcomings.

          I started testing those 1.2.3 snapshots in early February. Here I finally found a firewall distribution that worked out-of-the-box on my mini-itx computer based on the im-945gse-a motherboard. Other distributions, IPCop, Endian, SmoothWall to name a few, just failed to install or refused to work on my system, because they driver-wise lacked support for some hardware components. Seemingly the ethernet controllers and sata devices aren’t fully supported by linux-based and pre-FreeBSD-7.1 firewall distributions yet. FreeBSD 7.1 and pfSense 1.2.3 respectively did the trick for me – for some time at least.

          I kept my 1.2.3 pfSense box up to date, updating to the latest snapshot daily. Meanwhile I tried to learn by doing and by some googleing how to set up firewall rules, squid, squidguard and so on. Everything worked just fine based on all the snapshots I tried out till February 11.

          But: Since I upgraded from pfSense-1.2.3-20090211-1551 to the newer snapshots from February 18 and 19 my pfSense-Router/Firewall fails to connect to the Internet via PPPoE. My PPPoE configuration does not seem to be faulty. I kept it the same anyway and that way it worked perfectly on any 1.2.3.-Snapshot released before February 18.

          Since I am new to pfSense and FreeBSD I would appreciate any hints about which system-log-data I should post to help in trouble-shooting this issue.

              Hi, the PPPoE problem persists. I just uploaded the firmware pfSense-Full-Update-1.2.3-20090223-1231 to my pfSense-1.2.3-snapshots-testing-box. As a consequence of this upgrade my PPPoE connection gets disconnected and I can not bring it up anymore.

              While the PPPoe connection refuses to work with that February 23 pfSense-1.2.3-Snapshot, in my system log appear these two lines, obviously concerning an authentication problem:

              mpd: mpd: empty auth name

              mpd: Warning: no secret for "" found

              I edited /var/etc/mpd.conf – there I find two lines concerning my authname and password. My Username and Password do appear here exactly and correctly like I wrote them into the PPPoE configuration menu for the WAN Interface.

              PPPoE connection worked with earlier snaphots up to pfSense-1.2.3-20090211-1551. So I compared my mpd.conf. from February 11 to that of February 23. They differ in just two lines.

              set bundle authname "my_adsl_username#0001@t-online.de"
              set bundle password "my_adsl_password" (Feb 11)

              set auth authname "my_adsl_username#0001@t-online.de"
              set auth password "my_adsl_password" (Feb 23)

              Any hints how to solve this PPPoE / MPD / WAN configuration issue or at least how to help in solving it are welcome.

              Regards,

              jaybird

                maybe  changing  "set auth" to "set bundle" in mpd.conf work

                set bundle authname "my_adsl_username#0001@t-online.de"
                set bundle password "my_adsl_password"
                ?

                  Hi,

                  it seems like the new interfaces.inc file was to blame. I have just changed these lines in my interfaces.inc – /etc/inc/interfaces.inc --.

                  Where it said:

                  set auth

                  I changed it "back" to:

                  set bundle

                  After applying this somewhat quick & dirty change to the interfaces.inc file, PPPoE connection works again on today's 1.2.3-snapshot!

                  Regards,
                  jaybird

                    Hi again,

                    I have just re-applied my previously posted workaround for that PPPoE problem to the newest snapshot I could get:

                    pfSense-Full-Update-1.2.3-20090223-1749

                    Yes, it works.

                    Bringing the PPPoE connection up again involved the following:

                    Diagnostics: Edit File

                    Save/Load from path: /etc/inc/interfaces.inc

                    Now looking for lines saying:

                    set auth

                    (I found four "set auth" lines in my interfaces.inc)

                    Then changing every instance of set auth in interfaces.inc to:

                    set bundle

                    Save these changes to: /etc/inc/interfaces.inc

                    Interfaces: WAN

                    PPPoE configuration

                    save

                    (Yes, save it again.)

                    Status: Interfaces

                    PPPoE

                    connect

                    (waiting some 30 seconds…)

                    Done!

                    And accordingly (things change back to):

                    WAN interface (em1) 
                    Status up 
                    PPPoE up

                    Loaded text from /var/etc/mpd.conf

                    pppoe:
                    new -i ng0 pppoe pppoe
                    set iface route default
                    set iface disable on-demand
                    set iface idle 0
                    set iface up-script /usr/local/sbin/ppp-linkup
                    set bundle disable multilink
                    set bundle authname "my_adsl-username#0001@t-online.de"
                    set bundle password "my_adsl_password"
                    set bundle no noretry
                    set link keep-alive 10 60
                    set link max-redial 0
                    set link no acfcomp protocomp
                    set link disable pap chap
                    set link accept chap
                    set link mtu 1492
                    set ipcp yes vjcomp
                    set ipcp ranges 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
                    set ipcp enable req-pri-dns
                    set ipcp enable req-sec-dns
                    open iface

                    Any suggestions, feedback or comments on this issue is most welcome. I wonder if some of you tried that trick described above, and if there are known yet better solutions for the PPPoE problem at this time.

                            Had the sma problem and this fixed the issue. Could a dev fix this in the code?

                                  I want to  report that using :

                                  1.2.3-PRERELEASE-TESTING-VERSION
                                  built on Thu Mar 5 07:23:55 EST 2009

                                  the problem persists , in order the situation to  be fixed you have to edit /etc/inc/interfaces.inc
                                  and change set auth instances to  set bundle

                                  so the fix AINT WORKING

                                    It seems the patch was first applied to that version. I had the same problems with the version you mentioned, but the latest build fixed it.

                                      Yes it is working. Evidently I needed to state that I didn't go back in time to fix it, look at the time of my post and the time of your snapshot… Changes aren't going to magically appear in snapshots that were built 14-15 hours prior.

                                        YES IT IS WORKING :)

                                        a. SaintPaul : thank you  for your suggestion

                                        I tried : 1.2.3-PRERELEASE-TESTING-VERSION

                                        and works fine

                                        b. cmb : thank you for your fix , I appreciate your efforts, concerning "Changes aren't going to magically appear in snapshots that were built 14-15 hours prior" , consider that Internet is Global and there is a term called "time difference" , the thing i did after reading your post in this thread was to test the latest available snapshot, sorry if i was misunderstood.
