My ppp.conf has the line "set device PPPoE:vr0". So I do not believe I am putting in any extra characters. Adding the '/', '!', or ':' doesn't seem to work either. vr0 is just the name of my interface. > > Dec 1 09:24:53 n2 ppp[1481]: tun0: Phase: deflink: Enter pause (0) for >> redialinn >> g. >> > > >> Here is my ppp.conf: >> > > which I just started inside a vimage (with a different interface name) > and it started just fine in -foreground, even though I don't have a > single netgraph module loaded (in base system). Interesting. Perhaps there is a conflict with netgraph. > I also attempted to assign tun0 to a vimage, but it seems to lose its IP. >> > > What you would do if you have ppp running in base and want the data > inside a vimage is to use a bridge.

So the result in that case is correct. I've also attempted to use mpd with no luck. It seems mpd specifically calls command '/sbin/ifconfig' and checks for vr0 and it does not find it. This is likely because it is looking in the base image instead of within my vimage.home | help
