Re: PPPoE : FreeBSD pppoed doesn't communicate with Linksys BEFSR41 ver. 2

There are no log entries, presumably because pppoed does not even see
a PPPoE service request coming from the linksys. If someone can educate
me on how to use e.g. tcpdump to capture the PPPoE session setup traffic
to confirm or refute this, I'm willing to learn.

Try dumping the connection attempts with tcpdump like:
tcpdump -pi fxp1 -w /tmp/mydump.cap -s 1600

Then loading the mydump.cap file in ethereal might prove more useful.
Also i've seen a handful or two of commercial routers that simply do not
set the right fields in the packets. I wouldn't be too quick to blame ppp.
