Upgrade from 12/13 to 12/18 -> PPPoE dead…
-
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.

Thanks for the clarification. Can somebody now 'fix' this? Or is this more complicated than commenting that out? Am I right that every update will change that file to the original state?
-
The underlying function needs fixed, not removed. So it's a bit more complex than just commenting out one line.
Until it's fixed in our repo this workaround would have to be repeated after each update.

Hmmm try this
http://tinyurl.com/6cfx2ja seems i was doing a check wrong. -
Hi ermal,
no, that doesn't work for me. I removed the // from line 2620 and applied your fix. Still not connecting when booting up. Had to remove my opt interface again and click save on WAN…
-
With update from 01/18 i lost my PPPOE completely. Had more problems while updating packages. After a while of working state PPPOE was lost. And never came back. Nor a downgrade to 01/15 resolved the problem.
Tried that edit from interfaces.inc with no success.
Its an i386 install, XL0 is not assigned (its my WAN.) Only LAN, no opt nor other interfaces present. PPP-log only retries to connect. Only tries to connect show up at the logs. No errors so far, nor success.Packages present: squid, squidguard, lightsquid, cron and OVPN-Exporter. Nothing more.
So at last i was caught too with this failure of PPPOE. :-(
-
Is this still a problem? I'm still running a snap from the 12th, not planning to update unless there's hope for a change (for this or the panic problem)..
-
At least for me, the issue is still there from the latest yesterday's snap.
-
I could get rid of that problem:
Downgraded to snap from 01/15, there i had connect, from this snap i updated (as a test) to snap from 01/20. Still now (snap is from 01/21) its working. Lastly i don't know why, but it works. Strange. I'm happy so.
-
I just updated to last snap from 1/21 and still have to manually connect.

Also with your WAN as an additional OPT interface for modem access?
-
No. WAN was not and is not as additional Interface assigned.
Uh, now i see, the old snap to which i reverted was NOT 01/15, it was 01/07! Sorry for that wrong info!!!!!
-
I never had problems with PPPoE when I disabled the additional OPT…
-
i'll try with assigning the WAN as OPT and report back.
report:
I assigned my WAN-if as OPT, but nothing more. Didn't assign anything to that if.
rebooted pfSense.
After reboot my PPPOE connected as normal. No problems. Connection was made automatically.At advanced options of my PPPOE nothing is activated. So no "Dial on demand", no "idle tieout", nothing ticked.
My WAN-if is xl0, an old 3com in a dell home-pc. Its an onboard-card. Hope that helps. If you want some more testing from my side, tell me. What i see, the problems with PPPOE are in my case gone. -
I just updated to last snap from 1/21 and still have to manually connect.
Are you using OPTX interface(s) for modem management? I just committed an update that will prevent detachment of netgraph nodes on interfaces that are used by PPPoE and also configured as an OPTX interface (netgraph nodes are necessary on interfaces that are used by PPPoE/PPTP/L2TP/MLPPP)
The way the code is was written before, it would detach the netgraph node from the underlying interface if you assigned that same physical interface to OPTX.
Warning . . . my update is untested since I don't have access to my PPPoE link right now (I'm away from home). . .
@_igor_: the problem doesn't have anything to do with whether your WAN link is called WAN or OPTx, it's related to having PPPoE configured on a physical interface (e.g. em0) and having OPTx configured on the same physical interface (e.g. em0).
In future posts, everyone please state if you have configured the same physical interface for both PPPoE/MLPPP/PPTP/L2TP (WAN) and OPTx(static/dynamic) (e.g. for modem management.)
Thanks,

OPT6-OPT13 (vlans on em0) – mlppp WAN + static (modem subnets)
Are you using OPTX interface(s) for modem management?
Yes. I have no choice because said interfaces are vlan interfaces, and they aren't eligible for inclusion in the mlppp bundle without first assigning them IP info and activating them.
I just committed an update that will prevent detachment of netgraph nodes on interfaces that are used by PPPoE and also configured as an OPTX interface (netgraph nodes are necessary on interfaces that are used by PPPoE/PPTP/L2TP/MLPPP)
So if I understand you correctly your fix won't work for me because I'm using mlppp. Is that correct?
I'll try your fix if you think there's a chance of it working, or I can get you LAN access to this install if you want to investigate some. The biggest inconvenience there is that it would have to be between midnight and 7 am MST, as I have a lot of daytime users.

To clear it up:
XL0 is my PPPOE-interface.
So i assigned that same interface xl0 as OPT-interface. Thats what i was speaking about and what i understood which created the problem. If that is wrong, excuse me. Maybe i was not clear enough too.
Due to the fact that i don't use the same interface for other things as PPPOE may be that simple assigning is only the half of the problem. The other half could be an assigned vlan to the same physical interface, right? -
So if I understand you correctly your fix won't work for me because I'm using mlppp. Is that correct?
No, the fix should work for you and everyone else with this problem. :)
@_igor_: Okay, I mis-understood your last post . . .

Seems better with the lastest snap from the 23th. I will test further.

Still working on 2.0-BETA5 (i386) built on Sun Jan 23 10:30:03 EST 2011.
