Dear FreeBSD experts, Can you let me know what should I do to provide enough information for the FreeBSD developers to trace/ debug/ fix the PPPoE I experienced with FreeBSD 4.3 stable, please? I tried to upgrade from 4.2 stable to 4.3 stable several times after a cvsup and a clean buildworld during the last two months (April - June 2001). As of today, my box still couldn't connect to my ISP via pppoe with 4.3 stable. I have no choice but to switch back to 4.2 stable (tcpdump on 4.2 is attached below). In other world, I can connect to my ISP with FreeBSD 4.2 stable only. Above all, I cannot enjoy the improvements the FreeBSD developers have made on 4.3 stable. I am bound to 4.2 stable. Thank you. -echelon Here is the tcpdump I got: For 4.3, (cvsup on May 15 and before), PADI-PADO-PADR-PADS received but PADT arrived before an ip was allocated to my box. (cvsup on June 14), my box send out a stream of PADI without receiveing any PADO. (tcpdump on 4.2 stable for a normal connection) tcpdump: listening on xl0 14:37:23.765991 Broadcast 8863 32: PPPoE PADI [Host-Uniq UTF8] 14:37:25.762297 Broadcast 8863 32: PPPoE PADI [Host-Uniq UTF8] 14:37:25.765052 8863 67: PPPoE PADO [Host-Uniq UTF8] [Service-Name] [AC-Name "XXXX-X-XXXX"] [AC-Cookie UTF8] 14:37:25.765070 8863 67: PPPoE PADR [Host-Uniq UTF8] [AC-Cookie UTF8] [AC-Name "XXXX-X-XXXX"] 14:37:25.957263 8863 67: PPPoE PADS [ses 0x79eb] [Host-Uniq UTF8] [AC-Cookie UTF8] [AC-Name "XXXX-X-XXXX"] 14:37:25.965396 8864 60: PPPoE [ses 0x79eb] LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <auth PAP> <magic 0x936d062e> 14:37:26.506862 8864 36: PPPoE [ses 0x79eb] LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <mru 1492> <magic 0xb88717d6> 14:37:26.506914 8864 36: PPPoE [ses 0x79eb] LCP ConfAck id=0x1 <auth PAP> <magic 0x936d062e> 14:37:26.510170 8864 60: PPPoE [ses 0x79eb] LCP ConfNak id=0x1 <mru 1500> 14:37:26.510294 8864 36: PPPoE [ses 0x79eb] LCP ConfReq id=0x2 <mru 1500> <magic 0xb88717d6> 14:37:26.513226 8864 60: PPPoE [ses 0x79eb] LCP ConfAck id=0x2 <mru 1500> <magic 0xb88717d6> 14:37:26.513806 8864 54: PPPoE [ses 0x79eb] PAP 14:37:26.707275 8864 60: PPPoE [ses 0x79eb] PAP 14:37:26.707818 8864 60: PPPoE [ses 0x79eb] IPCP 14:37:26.710496 8864 32: PPPoE [ses 0x79eb] proto-0x80fd 14:37:26.710550 8864 50: PPPoE [ses 0x79eb] IPCP 14:37:26.710598 8864 32: PPPoE [ses 0x79eb] IPCP 14:37:26.714876 8864 60: PPPoE [ses 0x79eb] LCP ProtRej id=0x1 prot=PROT-0x80fd 14:37:26.716304 8864 60: PPPoE [ses 0x79eb] IPCP 14:37:26.717307 8864 44: PPPoE [ses 0x79eb] IPCP 14:37:26.721494 8864 60: PPPoE [ses 0x79eb] IPCP 14:37:26.722677 8864 44: PPPoE [ses 0x79eb] IPCP 14:37:26.728334 8864 60: PPPoE [ses 0x79eb] IPCP ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
