When starting an emergency holographic shell from the installer and then running 'ppp' running through the commands to start the PPPoE connection fails : set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP LQM Command tun set device PPPoE:fxp0 set ifaddr 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 set MRU 1492 set authname admin # authenticate on the interface as this user set authkey password # auth with this password nat enable yes nat deny_incoming no nat same_ports yes nat punch_fw 3001 299 nat use_sockets yes add default HISADDR dial This fails with the error message : "Can not create a netgraph socket node: no such file of directory" .. it has been determined that the command : "set device..." triggers this error message. This type of connection is commonly used across the US with Verizon FiOS installations. >How-To-Repeat: 1. Boot with the 8.1-RELEASE boot-only iso 2. start an emergency terminal. 3. run - ppp 4. enter- set device PPPoE:fxp0 5. enter- dial 6. press enter to see the error manifest itself. >Fix: the boot-only ISO may only need the netgraph.ko module included and loaded. Notably "kldload" and "kldstat" are absent from the boot-only iso. This also begs the question : How would one install with PPPoE through using the standard method and not the emergency shell ? >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
