Hello, problem solved: I tried with another Gbit PCI card! it worked instantly.
about the BAD PCI Gbit card, where pppoe only works when tcpdump is running: on the chip: Pulse H5007NL 1842 CHINA on the board of the NIC: 94V-0 SR-01 E258603 DW-RTL8111-17 VER A > Sent: Sunday, August 25, 2019 at 3:24 PM > From: "Mara Toni" <maratoni4...@mail.com> > To: misc@openbsd.org > Subject: pppoe only connects if tcpdump is running?! > > Hello! > > I got myself a new PCI ethernet card instead of an old USB3 to ethernet in a > "router" named desktop machine. > > in short: > But pppoe doesn't connects via the new PCI card.
