The only difference from yours is that I run it > between two PCs over crossover patchcord. Good. When I wrote that amendment to PR #69133, I'd verified that the problem is not with the modem: I'd also used a 2nd PC with crossover cable, in my case the 2nd PC ran FreeBSD 4-STABLE or -RELEASE (don't recall) with an Intel network interface card of the fxp(4) kind. FreeBSD 5-CURRENT, the xl(4) machine, started to lose packets as soon as I'd typed "ifconfig fxp0 media 10baseT/UTP" on the FreeBSD 4 machine, and things came back to normal if I either reverted the FreeBSD 4 machine to autonegotiate or hardwired the FreeBSD 5 mmachine to the same speed and duplex setting. If you want a pppoe server to run a PPPoE test, net/rp-pppoe has a pppoed that works. I can't give offhand details on how to run the PPPoE server, I've forgotten, and I'll be off my computer until around 23:00 UTC now. If you need further information, want me to test a patch or dig up information with KDB/DDB, let me know what I can do for you. Your support is much appreciated. -- Matthias Andree Encrypted mail welcome: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95 (PGP/MIME preferred)
