      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.

          Regards,

                        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
                                          built on Sat Mar 7 02:11:11 EST 2009

                              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.
