        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 20:43:28 pfSense mpd: [wanL1] Link: DOWN event
        Mar 16 20:43:28 pfSense mpd: [wanL1] LCP: Down event
        Mar 16 20:43:28 pfSense mpd: [wanL1] Link: reconnection attempt 12 in 3 seconds
        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.
