ok...dunce time again.....

I am trying to get a pppoe session running with my ISP. I have the 
correct information and my other freebsd box can auth/route...so I 
got my parameters down pat and know my SBC account is A-OK.


I am using and Intel 1000 to connect to the dsl modem (wm0).

# ifconfig -C
tun pppoe ppp lo

so I have pppoe built in.

so then I created the following in /etc/ifconfig.wm0:

==============================
up
!/sbin/ifconfig pppoe0 create
!/sbin/pppoectl -e wm0 pppoe0
!/sbin/pppoectl pppoe0 \
myauthproto=pap \
myauthname='username@sbcglobal.net' \
myauthsecret='xxxxxx' \
idle-timeout=0 \
max-auth-failure=0 \
hisauthproto=none

==============================

wm0 comes up...but I do not see any 'activity' on the dsl modem
nor do I see anything in any logs (nothing at all!).

so I need some troubleshooting tips or pointers.
do I have quotes wrong or something?

when I type this in at the command line, it accepts it with no 
errors...so I am miffed.

any pointers *will* be appreciated!
