Subject:   PPPoE: Waiting for carrier
Message-ID:  <20001211150006.A1138@coastalgeology.org>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I can almost answer any question using the archives alone, in fact I
*have* answered very many that way, but this one will not work for
me. 4.1-RELEASE trying to connect to BellSouth via ed1 to an Alcatel
Speed Touch Home external ADSL modem. Kernel has tun and netgraph
compiled in. What I get is

tun0: Phase: deflink: dial -> carrier
tun0: Debug: Waiting for carrier
message repeats * cd value
tun0: Phase: deflink: Disconnected!

I see a lot of this in the archives, and one person solved it by
upgrading from 3.x to 4.1.(For details see archive on Geocrawler,
FreeBSD-questions; search for "PPPoE waiting for carrier". Only that
thread is returned--- until this hits the archive) Seems that there
was a packet type unrecognized by the kernel or
something. Unfortunately, I'm already using 4.1, so that's out.

What I'm looking for is advice maybe on checking packet type errors
(like the fellow above had), or how to explain to BellSouth tech
support what I mean when I ask whether or not I need to request a
"service". Hints about what worked for others, or how to find more
info on what happens after dial -> carrier. Also, where can I learn
what the ppp.conf stuff really means (other than the manpage) instead
of blindly copying stuff into ppp.conf? 

Of course, this info is limited and almost useless as is, but here are
my ppp.conf and ppp.log files. "Tcpdump -i ed1" gives me network not
configured or something, I'm assuming that's because I'm not connected
yet - I just found something on "tcpdump -nev -s 256 ether proto
0x8863", but have to reboot into FreeBSD (and read the manpage) to get
an output.
