After some days of testing i can confirm that this kernel works

Thanks!

The kernel boots.
A normal pppoe session with new kernel(and random host-uniq), partialy works as usual, so the ng_pppoe is not broken.

The problem is that now I need to specify the host-uniq tag. If I manually edit /var/etc/mpd_opt2.conf (in my setup) trying to add the new tag with "set host-uniq XXXX..." the file gets overwrited so we need to pass it via web interface or prevent overwriting

Dunno if the sintax of mpd.conf is correct, tough. It would be easier to specify a new textbox in the GUI
thanks

edit: syntax should be "set service "string|""  so a little tweak of XML config works

Hi friends,
my and many others ISPs tend to modify their implementation of PPPoE protocol to avoid the usage of custom routers, forcing PADI request to contains a fixed host-unique tag.

There are already some patch for pppd daemon on linux and on openwrt.
Ubiquity has patched their firmware starting version 1.9 and they work too.

The situation is not so good on freebsd.

I've found this working patch on freebsd https://reviews.freebsd.org/D9270

I've submitted a feature request to pfsense but they do not seem to be interested in integrating it(cost free, almost). Also, download and compiling their sources is difficult due their build chain restrictions.


Can you help me integrating this patch in opnsense and ad the host-uniq tag in web frontent page?
I've seen that build the system from scratch is possible and I have a very good technical background on linux but no experience on freebsd. With some tips I could do it myself(except frontend part, no experience on it)-

Thanks for any help

Thanks
