I"m having some difficulty setting up routing tables using Freebsd to route to a sparc2. I have PPP going on the bsd box. It continues to try and route the path to the provider thru the ethernet to the Sun. I am wondering what this bpf does? I see it on boot up. Here is dmesg: .... relevant parts ed0 not found at 0x280 ed1 at 0x300-0x31f irq 11 maddr 0xd8000 msize 16384 on isa ed1: address 00:00:c0:75:35:92, type SMC8216/SMC8216C (16 bit) bpf: ed1 attached ..... changing root device to wd1a bpf: lo0 attached bpf: ppp0 attached bpf: ppp1 attached bpf: sl0 attached bpf: sl1 attached I have two modems attached which I presume is why I have ppp0 and ppp1 as well as sl0 and sl1. This is actually becoming more difficult than it ought to be. The Question of the day is: What is bpf, and why is both the ethernet and the ppp interface attached to it? Is this part of the problem? Also, why is the route to my internet provider getting routed thru the ethernet. If I leave the ethernet down on boot up I can connect with PPP fine. dave
