Solution in rc.conf somewhere after the interfaces list put... ifconfig_fxp0=up (but use your nic if not fxp0 this will auto fix it at boot time else type #ifconfig fxp0 up and voila! no more panics and dialing ppp will work. > The first time I tried PPPoE I had all four of them > in the kernel config > and it still panicked.
