Problem ppoe
-
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!

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 upLoaded 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 ifaceAny 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.

I want to report that using :
1.2.3-PRERELEASE-TESTING-VERSION
built on Thu Mar 5 07:23:55 EST 2009the problem persists , in order the situation to be fixed you have to edit /etc/inc/interfaces.inc
and change set auth instances to set bundleso the fix AINT WORKING

1.2.3-PRERELEASE-TESTING-VERSION
built on Thu Mar 5 07:23:55 EST 2009so the fix AINT WORKING
Try again with
1.2.3-PRERELEASE-TESTING-VERSION
built on Fri Mar 6 17:16:59 EST 2009It 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 2009and 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.

Thank you very much cmb.
