Sure, here it is.  xl1 is the LAN interface, tun0->xl0 is the PPPoE interface:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc] 7 $ ifconfig -a
xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=8<VLAN_MTU>
        ether 00:60:97:a7:c9:01
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
xl1: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=9<RXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>
        inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
        ether 00:10:5a:9a:11:8c
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
        inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1492
        inet 216.113.200.107 --> 216.113.192.225 netmask 0xffffffff
        Opened by PID 1895

Notice there are no IPv6 configurations.  I put
net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal=0 in /etc/sysctl.conf as part of a
troubleshooting test to get PPPoE to work(*).  I left it in after I
got PPPoE working because I don't use IPv6, but removing "options
INET6" from the kernel makes pf, ipfilter, and ipfw klds complain
loudly.

Cheers,

(*) Long story.  It took over 8 hours to get the PPPoE connection
working after the install.  tcpdump would segfault during the PPP
handshaking do I couldn't even figure out what was going on.  I
finally got it to work by putting "disable ipv6cp" in my ppp.conf
file.  Otherwise it would sit and wait for carrier forever after the
first attempt.
