It's quite obvious that you can't do pppoEthernet w/o a working ethernet link. Anyhow, from reading the (long) PR audit trail it seems that some of the newer xl(4) changes broke autonegotiation. Would be very helpful if you could narrow it down somemore i.e. give a last working 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=ports/69133 > > Any insight? -- /"\ Best regards, | mlaier_at_freebsd.org \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier_at_EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News
