PPPoE misbehaving?

Hi Gleb and the rest,
Thank you all for the replies. The card is a Senao NL-2054PCI, based on the
Atheros chipset... pciconf -lv reports:
ath0 at pci0:9:0: class=0x020000 card=0x2027168c chip=0x0013168c rev=0x01
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
device = '802/11b/g AR5212 wireless Adapter'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
As I did indicate, the card is working and functioning properly - I am 99%
sure it is a problem related with PPPoEd, or something in regards to PPPoE
over the Ethernet card (which, can also be possible I guess). I've tried
all the other suggestions that was made, and none of them seemed to have
changed anything. From what I can see, the client sends and attempts to
initiate the PPPoE connection properly, but the PPPoE daemon does not
receive the packets / or does not initiate a session - which, needs to be
completed before any sub processes will be spawned.
It's quite urgent that I get this working.... An alternative would be to
port the ath drivers to the 4.X tree - but I really don't think that's even
a option.... I can only imagine the amount of work that would be required
for this. Are there possibly any other open source PPPoE Daemons available
that I can possibly try on FreeBSD 5.2??
Look forward to hearing from you all
