Hi Julian, Thanks for the tip, it looks like netgraph can do what I need to do. I've never used netgraph before, so I better do some background reading first before asking any more questions. I guess once I moved away from the IP layer to the link layer, divert sockets no longer make that much

Hi Luigi, Thanks for response, the vmnet/tap stuff sounds like neat stuff. After reading the description of tap (from the vtun site), the system seems to make a lot of sense. However, I'm not sure how vmnet comes into play here - what purpose does it serve, shouldn't I just be able to read from

Hi guys, I finally got it working - apparently, the taps won't work unless I were to ifconfig the tap device with an ip address (I don't think an ip address is actually needed, but the ifconfig probably does some ioctl that is needed to start up the tap device). I'll try to find what exact ioct

Hi all I bought a wlan card today, a WL-100 from Asus. FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE couldn't start it and complained about the id was not in the database. For you who have had problem with this card, this is howto get it going. Edit your /etc/defaults/pccard.conf and scroll down the the wi driver section

FreeBSD lacks PPPoE (pppoa3 solution)

2003-07-10 Thread Nuno Teixeira
Hello to all, I'm using FreeBSD for almost 4 years and I will continue with it because I can't find better. I subscribed to a ADSL connection in Portugal that supports only PPPoE (and not PPPoA). Almost everyone in Portugal uses only 2 modems (supported by ISPs): Siemens Santis USB and Alcatel

I'm confused.. FreeBSD has had full PPPoE support for about 4 years. there is also PPPoA support.. why do you think there is not? On Thu, 10 Jul 2003, Nuno Teixeira wrote: > > Hello to all, > > I'm using FreeBSD for almost 4 years and I will continue with it because > I can't find better.

Hi, Please see http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net/index.php?/news.en.html "Real" PPPoE with a ethernet card connected with a ADSL Modem works. This problem is related with ISPs that supports *only* PPPoE protocol with USB Modems (this case Alcatel) that "emulates" ethernet with TUN/TAP devices.
