Is there any way to set up PPPoE connetions under Haiku?

Hello,

in BeOS with bone it was possible via Network Preferences.

I don’t think Haiku has PPP or PPPoE support yet…

I need this as well, someone start a bounty

I need PPPoE support too. I cannot connect with Internet.

From what I remember, it needs to be ported from the BeOS network stack to the free-BSD based network stack.

So it would take someone with will and know-how. Maybe through HaikuWare, the community could hire a developer to work on porting PPPoE, much like Haiku inc. hires developers to do jobs it thinks to be important.

What FreeBSD-based network stack?

the network stack of haiku is not based on the BSD stack,it’s a totaly new stack from scratch.
you 're confusing with the ported drivers from the BSD.

Ok, maybe I should of written “it needs to be ported from the old BeOS driver compatible network stack to the new free-BSD driver compatible network stack”.
