Hi,

I have found a problem about PPPoE parameter in /etc/rc.network.
When setting the following lines in /etc/rc.conf, pppoe server does not 
work well.  The string "service-pppoe" is an entry in
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf for PPPoE server.

pppoed_enable="YES"		# Run the PPP over Ethernet daemon.
pppoed_provider="service-pppoe"	# Provider and ppp(8) config file entry.
pppoed_interface="fxp0"		# The interface that pppoed runs on.

In /etc/rc.network, 'pppoed_provider' is passed into pppoe with -p
option.  After booting os, pppoe arguments are as follows:

   pppoed ... -p service-pppoe fxp0 

But this option does not work.  We should use -l instead of -p like
this:

   pppoed ... -l service-pppoe fxp0 

To use -l, I think the line 822 in /etc/rc.network should be modified.

<   822				pppoed_flags="${pppoed_flags} -p ${pppoed_provider}"

>   822				pppoed_flags="${pppoed_flags} -l ${pppoed_provider}"

After modifying the above line, pppoed server works well.
But is this modification correct?
