Well, if your DSL-modem does not do autonegotiation you have to set the med= ia=20 type manually. It's quite obvious that you can't do pppoEthernet w/o a=20 working ethernet link. Anyhow, from reading the (long) PR audit trail it=20 seems that some of the newer xl(4) changes broke autonegotiation. Would be= =20 very helpful if you could narrow it down somemore i.e. give a last working= =20 version. > 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=3Dports/69133 > > Any insight? =2D-=20 /"\ Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News --Boundary-02=_IPTABO5tf/GRRNi Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBATPIXyyEoT62BG0RApT3AJ9k6FUwUfNAOr9no9wS9c1cLR1nAgCfT7GP gYQraPerNDvid6B/4e7Sgfc= =lHJ3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Boundary-02=_IPTABO5tf/GRRNi--
