Bug ID: 291112
Summary: Handbook section 30.4.1. references deleted port and
inaccessible webpage
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Books & Articles
Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: john@dnepro.net
In Handbook section 30.4.1 "Using a PPPoE Service Tag" this sentence refers to
deleted (and also misspelled) port:
| As a last resort, one could try installing the net/rr-pppoe package or port.
This was net/rp-pppoe and it was deleted on 2023-12-31 according to
https://www.freshports.org/net/rp-pppoe/
Following sentences are not very clear if they are about rp-pppoe or some other
program:
| Bear in mind however, this may de-program the modem and render it useless, so
think
| twice before doing it. Simply install the program shipped with the modem.
Then, access
| the System menu from the program. The name of the profile should be listed
there. It is
| usually ISP.
Also the last sentence in this section contains link to inaccessible webpage
(http://renaud.waldura.com/doc/freebsd/pppoe/):
| For additional information, refer to Cheaper Broadband with FreeBSD on DSL by
Renaud Waldura.
