Firstly I have to warn you I am a Netgraph newbie,and despite looking for hours, I have not found much of a tutorial on how it all fits together.
I recently obtained a PCI ADSl modem card, Pulsar ADSL from Traverse Technologies http://www.traverse.com.au
They have some test FreeBSD drivers http://adsl4linux.no-ip.org/pulsar.html that implement a bridge mode ADSL connection using netgraph modules:
Id Refs Address Size Name 1 8 0xc0400000 65ab28 kernel 2 1 0xc0a5b000 7794 ng_atm.ko 3 4 0xc0a63000 14abc netgraph.ko 4 1 0xc0a78000 386c ng_eiface.ko 5 2 0xc0a7c000 3030 atm_aal.ko 6 1 0xc0a80000 440dc if_pls.ko 7 1 0xc0ac5000 2d50 ng_atmllc.ko
This all seems to work fine, the modules load up and I get an ADSL sync light on the ADSL PCI card.
However I need to run PPPoE or PPPoA to connect to my ISP, I tried user ppp and mpd but the both complained that the interface was not ethernet.
Is it possible to use some like ng_ppp and mpd to hook to this card so I can establish a PPPoA session? If so can anyone suggest an mpd config?
YMMV with this answer because o- I use a TelCo supplied adsl modem. o- I've never had a problem with pppoe It's always just worked.
The only real difference in the configuration of ppp for dialup and ppp for pppoe, in my case is:
set device PPPoE:fxp1
It runs on tun[0-9], BTW but you must assign it to a free ethernet interface. In my case it is fxp1 - em0 is internal and fxp0 is a different isp with a partial E-1 as an example.
My complete configuration, with some information changed to protect the innocent with xxxx, follows:
default: set log Phase tun command # set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 set ifaddr xxx.78.18.xxx xx8.235.145.xxx 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0
telmex: set device PPPoE:fxp1 set authname xxxxxxxx set authkey xxxxx set dial set login add default HISADDR
It starts from rc with the rc.conf entry
# User ppp configuration.
ppp_enable="YES" # Start user-ppp (or NO).
ppp_mode="ddial" # Choice of "auto", "ddial", "direct" or
"dedicated".
# For details see man page for ppp(8). Default is
auto.
ppp_nat="YES" # Use PPP's internal network address
translation or NO.
ppp_profile="telmex" # Which profile to use from
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf.
ppp_user="xxxx" # Which user to run ppp asIt runs as: # ps -ax|grep ppp 246 ?? Ss 1:47.42 /usr/sbin/ppp -quiet -ddial -nat telmex
I suppose auto would work the same way as ddial but I just modified a dial-up configuration.
Hope this gives you some idea. BTW, this is on current although I assume it doesn't change.
