"ngctl list" lists nothing in spite of an installed ether.bridge. 2. bridge stats broken 3. user-ppp does not find "ether" for ng_pppoe, see PR #71424 - rp-pppoe recently goes into 100% busy wait loop, truss shows: select(5,{0 3 4},0,0,0) = 1 in a tight loop, which is kind of bogus. Network seems fine though at first connect. This regression was introduced recently, too. - rp-pppoe can't reconnect if it's killed (not yet researched into), apparently related to other network or netgraph problems. It appears as though rp-pppoe would not see the reply packets from the network and may be an xl(4) bug. - xl(4) autoconfig appears to break netgraph, was broken a few weeks ago and discussed here without solution workaround: ifconfig xl1 media 10baseT/UTP I cannot checked if this has been fixed, depends on 71424 being fixed first. - a mounted ext2 file system (read-only sufficient) still causes FreeBSD to not flush its own ufs super blocks at shut down, causing an fsck run at next reboot. Workaround: umount all ext2 file systems before reboot/halt. If I can help to have these fixed, test patches, do some debugging work whatever, so that BETA4 fixes these, let me know. I know and program in C but I am not acquainted with the FreeBSD kernel, so please don't instruct me too tersely. -- Matthias Andree Encrypted mail welcome: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95 (PGP/MIME preferred)
