      After upgrading to Mar 8 21:58:08 EST 2010 snapshot, the boot up completed successfully, but all PPPoE connections are lost.

      The following messages appear on console:

      …
      Starting OpenNTP time client...done
      Setting up microcode and tx/rx offloading...ifconfig: interface pppoe1 does not exist
      ifconfig: interface pppoe2 does not exist
      ifconfig: interface pppoe3 does not exist
      done.
      configuring firewall.....done.

        Do you have on your logs problems connecting to pppoe?!
        I switched it to mpd5 after testing and it seemed quite ok in testing.

          exact same here for me on the pfSense-2.0-BETA1-1g-20100309-0142-nanobsd-upgrade.img.gz as well as the traffic shaper but for that shaper issue there is a fix committed but isnt on the 9th march nanobsd update image so traffic shaper will be solved in newer snapshots but i hope this pppoe also gets fixed.

              plz wait till some snapshot is generated after the 9th so i can update to that which doesnt have the traffic shaper problem so i can then use that and can even provide the log, mayb some1 else can send in the log if they got it active on their box

                I somehow managed to miss this part when switching to mpd5 on mainline.
                https://rcs.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense/repos/mainline/commits/18315b0d39d3438a531652cfb71f17560446eb48

                Either wait new snapshots or add this manually.

                  I can confirm it is working again with that fix.

                                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 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.
