I've been trying to figure out PPPoE too .... trying both FreeBSD & OpenBSD & its starting to look like the native pppoe in OpenBSD might just be easier to configure .... I'm not certain whats up with netgraph but I think it may need a bit more work before its totally reliable. OpenBSD doesn't use it (possibly a security related issue) & the mailing list archives have a heap of postings about netgraph woes ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerry Freymann" <freymann@eagle.ca> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Saturday, April 21, 2001 10:38 AM Subject: PPPoE causes a Kernel Panic > I'm trying to do so much with this FreeBSD box!
