Hi,
	I'm trying pppoed in freebsd-4.9. It is working fine. I can connect from 
Win98, Win2k and winxp using Raspppoe. However I'm getting lots of message in 
my pppoed.log. It seems as if pppoed is responding to some request. But I'm 
not able to find out what it is. I get these message in ever 1-2 seconds !!
Also, i've attached the output of tcpdum that i ran on the interface connected 
to the wireless APs.
I'm starting pppoed from command line with this systex:
/usr/libexec/pppoed -d -P /var/run/pppoed.pid -a WiZoooM -l default xl1

ps ax shows more than 10 instances of running pppoed service.

Is it a normal message or due to misconfiguration or some bug? I'm not able to 
find why i'm getting these messages.

 when I did tcpdump to the interface connected to my wireless APs i get lots 
of these messages
