Ok, I didn't realize the interface name was sufficient. I would of have never looked at pppoe(4) unless you told me about it. I suggest just adding "name" then: -determine the interface or interface address. +determine the interface name or interface address. Just because interface by itself was a little generic and if someone uses the mac address of the interface alone it won't work. dmo
