                    i tried those 2 entries manually but after reboot the console started giving a lot of error related to unable to get interface ip etc so i guess ill wait for the next snapshot and try that out.

                            I got same problems with snapshots later than 4th march on a alix.

                            When trying to apply settings for wan connection, there is the following written in the logs

                              I can confirm the same problem here with alix and pppoe.
                              For me the Snapshot from 7. March is working but any newer is not.
                              The last I tried was Snapshot from 13. of March.

                                    xbipin you are on wrong sources.
                                    You are trying to start mpd4 which would not start with the config that is now.
                                    You need to start mpd5 not sure why it tries to start mpd4 for you!?

                                        when upgrading from 4th march to 13th march snapshot. With the newest snapshot of 15th march pppoe is still not working. I don't know the excat error log but I will provide it later.

                                            open

                                            Where can I look for the version number ?

                                            I now that mine is 2.0Beta1 from march, 11 because is the file that I downloaded, there is a way to look at some file or in the web to find it?

                                            Best regards,
                                            Gabriel.
