      Build 2.0-BETA5 (i386) built on Mon Jan 10 22:34:12 EST 2011 didn't automatically connect my PPPoE link, although I only waited 10 minutes.

      I have now disabled the OPTn interface I was using to access my bridged modem, and have successfully followed the steps at http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/How_can_i_access_my_PPPoE_Modem_on_WAN to access my modem.

      pfSense is an excellent product, and my thanks to the people who support and improve it through these forums for all of their help.

          It just takes some minutes if you have enabled your WAN interface as OPT…

              Got to use the 'connect' button to have my wan/pppoe link working.

              Strange because the release from the 8th worked for me.

                    Didn't you remove your modem access opt interface though?

                        Yeah, it's still broken for people who have their modem interface assigned.

                        No changes have happened that would try to fix it though, so it isn't likely to start working for others until a fix gets committed.

                            Except that there were still no changes that would have impacted that functionality…

                            You might look closer into why the last two Saturday updates seem to have worked for you but nothing in between. Perhaps the timing on your part has more to do with it than anything we've changed. :-)

                              And you have enabled OPTx(WAN) in order to access your modem through that?

                                My setup is

                                wan (em0) –- pppoe --- dsl router---internet
                                      dsl (opt) (em0) ---------

                                So yes, I have an opt interface connected to my dsl router as well as a pppoe connection for the wan using same phy interface em0

                                    Sure, I will try to investigate why it is working now even if no code changes have been made concerning this issue. Thanks for the info!

                                      It is not working (probably because there were no changes at all) with OPT enabled for Modem access on WAN. As soon as I enabled the OPT interfaces my PPPoE was brought down and I had the same problem as always. PPP trying to connect all the time…
                                      Did not even try to do an update then...

                                        Hi Guys,

                                        Try commenting out line 2620 in /etc/inc/interfaces.inc. (" interface_netgraph_needed($interface);  ") (add a // to the front of the line to make it a comment.).

                                          yeah, that works! What does this function do? Is that easy to fix now? I didn't do a firmware upgrade now, but I activated OPT for modem access and rebooted. As soon as my pfSense box was reachable I saw that the PPPoE connection was up as well….

                                          Nice!

                                            That function was added as an optimization for very high bandwidth interfaces that don't need netgraph nodes, but apparently, more interfaces need the nodes attached than the function allows.
