The card works now as it should but the IPCP negotiating of the pppd 2.3.11 (from ports collection) ends up in: ... sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x6 ] rcvd [IPCP ConfReq id=0x4b] sent [IPCP ConfAck id=0x4b] rcvd [IPCP ConfAck id=0x6 ] Could not determine remote IP address sent [IPCP TermReq id=0x7 "Could not determine remote IP address"] rcvd [IPCP TermAck id=0x7] I picked up another Linux driven notebook to compare it with Linux (because I've used the same PCMCIA card in Linux for some monthes) and it turned out that the IPCP negotiating is ending up the same way but the Linux pppd picks up some guessed remote IP address and just put this into the ppp0 interface and the things are fine: rcvd [IPCP ConfReq id=0x4] sent [IPCP ConfNak id=0x4 ] rcvd [IPCP ConfNak id=0x4 ] sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x5 ] rcvd [IPCP ConfAck id=0x5 ] rcvd [IPCP ConfReq id=0x5] sent [IPCP ConfAck id=0x5] Could not determine remote IP address: defaulting to 10.64.64.64 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ local IP address 10.227.222.211 remote IP address 10.64.64.64 # ifconfig ppp0 ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:10.227.222.211 P-t-P:10.64.64.64 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:100 (100.0 b) TX bytes:139 (139.0 b) It seems that this feature does not exist in FreeBSD's pppd or I'm missing something else?
