22.7 Legacy Series / [solved] pppoe interface does not get created
« on: August 13, 2022, 01:28:53 pm »
Hi everyone,
I just recently upgraded to 22.7.1 and wanted to configure a pppoe connection now.
So I went to the Point-to-Point interfaces, configured a PPPoE and saved. Then I wanted to assign this newly created interface (it is selectable!) but I get the message "The interface "pppoe0" does not exist. Make sure to apply its configuration first."
Yes, this interface is not in the output of # ifconfig (via shell) plus, the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf does not contain any of my configuration.
I already searched github issues, applied patch 86ebdc291e8 in my despair but it didn't help. Also I reconfigured the interface multiple times.
I have configured pppoe on both pfsense and opnsense in the past, however this issue is new to me. It looks like the gui doesn't get written to config. Any ideas how to narrow the problem down or how to solve the issue?
Best wishes
