Hello, (sorry for the long post!) I used the ppp pppoe (for my dsl connection) for some while and decided to switch to the kernel implementation.
I'm actually having a problem with kernel pppoe, after a reboot or when I try to connect/reconnect it takes about 1 minute before it is able to connect. While running "ifconfig pppoe0 debug" (see below) I noticed a few "pppoe0: timeout" When I used the ppp's pppoe implementation the connection and reconnection were almost instant. For information, here is my old ppp.conf: default: set log Phase tun command set redial 7 0 set reconnect 7 10000 provider: set device "!/usr/sbin/pppoe -i sis2" disable acfcomp iface-alias deflate protocomp vjcomp pred1 ipv6cp deny acfcomp set mtu max 1454 set mru max 1454 set speed sync enable lqr set lqrperiod 5 set dial set login set timeout 0 set authname "xyz" set authkey xyz add default HISADDR enable mssfixup set server /var/run/internet "" 0177 Now, here is my new hostname.pppoe0 pppoedev sis2 !/sbin/ifconfig sis2 up media 10baseT !/usr/sbin/spppcontrol \$if myauthproto=pap myauthname=xyz \ myauthkey=xyz !/sbin/ifconfig \$if inet 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffffff link1 !/sbin/route add default 0.0.0.1 !/usr/local/sbin/noip2 -c /etc/no-ip2.conf up Here is my dmesg and "ifconfig pppoe0 debug" output: Oct 6 19:29:10 gate /bsd: syncing disks... done Oct 6 19:29:10 gate /bsd: OpenBSD 3.8 (GENERIC) #1: Fri Sep 30 21:09:23 CEST 2005 Oct 6 19:29:10 gate /bsd: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvs/OPENBSD_3_8/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC Oct 6 19:29:10 gate /bsd: cpu0: Geode(TM) Integrated Processor by National Semi ("Geode by NSC" 586-class) 267 MHz Oct 6 19:29:10 gate /bsd: cpu0: FPU,TSC,MSR,CX8,CMOV,MMX Oct 6 19:29:10 gate /bsd: cpu0: TSC disabled Oct 6 19:29:10 gate /bsd: real mem = 133799936 (130664K) Oct 6 19:29:10 gate /bsd: avail mem = 115470336 (112764K) Oct 6 19:29:10 gate /bsd: using 1658 buffers containing 6791168 bytes (6632K) of memory Oct 6 19:29:10 gate /bsd: mainbus0 (root) Oct 6 19:29:10 gate /bsd: bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(00) BIOS, date 20/50/29, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xf7840 Oct 6 19:29:10 gate /bsd: pcibios0 at bios0: rev 2.0 @ 0xf0000/0x10000 Oct 6 19:29:10 gate /bsd: pcibios0: pcibios_get_intr_routing - function not supported Oct 6 19:29:10 gate /bsd: pcibios0: PCI IRQ Routing information unavailable.
