Hi list, I've build a box with suse 7.1, changing to 2.2.19 with selfcompiled kernel sources and freeswan 1.9. All worked fine and I could successfully connect over dsl and ipsec to headquarter. I just tried the same thing with the new 2.2.19 rpm and the origin 7.1 distro and suse freeswan rpm. I run in a problem with the combination freeswan 1.8, pppd and rp.pppoe. After booting the box I confirm the adsl start / adsl stop / adsl start tests without problems. The routing and the install of firewall rules with SuseFirewall all is o.k. Then I tried to build the tunnel with freeswan, I used the same configuration files like my selfcompiled box. Still all works fine. But only the first time. After disconnect the tunnel and adsl stop I could'nt establish an internet connection. The message log shows a pppoe error "async read error from ppp". The only way out was booting the box because ifconfig hangs and there was no way to kill it. Anyone with similar configuration and success ? Or is it a bug in this combination?
