of course; the problem had not been visible from the ppp logs. It
looked like everything goes fine apart that the peer doesn't ACK
your CONREQ and thus you go into another negotiation loop.

The problem actually is that the peer will never see your CONFREQ
because it goes like this:

..
3c 13			Ethertype (NONSTANDARD, 3Com)
11 00 38 dd 00 1a	PPPoE
c0 21			PPP LCP

but it should go like this:

88 64			Ethertype PPPoE
11 00 3e dd 00 15	PPPoE
c0 21			PPP LCP

unles you
	set pppoe 3Com
or changed the sysctl (I think there still is one).

So it seems that either ether.c (command.c, physical.c) change
or the ng_pppoe still have problems selecting the correct type
and default to standard. I am checking the sources to find the place
if glebius isn't faster ;-)


Could you please mail to output of
	sysctl net.graph.nonstandard_pppoe
