      I got the error

      Mar 14 15:56:18    mpd: process 5947 started, version 4.4.1 (root@FreeBSD_8.0_pfSense_2.0-snaps.pfsense.org  14:40 28-Feb-2010)
      

      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.

          I'm getting the same issue here:

          Mar 16 20:43:28 pfSense mpd: [wanL1] PPPoE: can't connect "[d]:"->"mpd46586-0" and "[0]:"->"left": No such file or directory

          Mar 16 20:43:31 pfSense mpd: [wanL1] Link: reconnection attempt 12

          My mpd_wan.conf looks like this:

          startup:
          pppoeclient:
          create bundle static wan
          set iface name pppoe0
          set iface disable on-demand
          set iface idle 0
          set iface enable tcpmssfix
          set iface up-script /usr/local/sbin/ppp-linkup
          set iface down-script /usr/local/sbin/ppp-linkdown
          set ipcp enable req-pri-dns
          set ipcp enable req-sec-dns
          set ipcp yes vjcomp
          set ipcp ranges 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
          create link static wanL1 pppoe
          set link disable incoming
          set link action bundle wan
          set auth authname "internet@speedy.com.br"
          set auth password "internet"
          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 pppoe iface fxp3
          set pppoe service "Speedy"
          set link mtu 1492
          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.

                sir, im the windows guy so ull have to specify the exact commands to run or else i have no clue how to do what u said.

                bytheway, i tried doing a clean install but as soon as the WAN interface config is created for pppoe, then the mpd->file or directory not found error starts flooding the system log non stop

                  what i think is the problem starts when creating the ng0 coz in mpd4 in console it used to say vr1 so the solution might be somewhere there when creating the node.

                    After seeing Ermal's ng_tee comment, I checked out the kernel config file. It looks like the NanoBSD kernels were missing a few netgraph options that the full install had.

                    I committed the changes for the kernels and if all goes well, the next NanoBSD image that comes out after this post should work.

                        im on the 18th march nanobsd and finally PPPoE seems to WORK perfectly fine, so the last patch by Jimp got it all up.
