I've chased this and found some results that I've added to kern/69133. The problem is that outgoing PPPoE packets (user-space ppp) don't seem to appear on the wire whenever the peer does not offer auto-negotiation but the xl interface is set to "media auto" (default). Switching off autonegotiation (ifconfig xl1 media 10baseT/UTP) makes the packets go out to the wire. This may be some incompatibility between xl and ng_pppoe, as xl with rp-pppoe (from ports) works, and vr with ng_pppoe works, too. More details are given in: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/69133 Any insight? -- Matthias Andree Encrypted mail welcome: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95 (PGP/MIME preferred)
