Perhaps there is a conflict with netgraph. > possibly. but try running 'ngctl list' in the jail to list all the nodes it can see there. as well as ifconfig there might be an order dependency: try this: reboot with no netgraph nodes loaded. make the jail move vr0 to teh jail using ifconfig kldload ng_ether kldload ng_pppoe (in the jail) run ngctl list (in the jail) run ifconfig and see if the result is different if so then the trick would be to have the interfsce alreday in the right jail when the ng_ether nodes are created. if you do it the other way around it is possible that moving theinterfaces to a new jail doesn't move the netgraph nodes associated, leaving them behind in the old jail. > > I've also attempted to use mpd with no luck.
