System: NetBSD night-owl.duskware.de 5.99.01 NetBSD 5.99.01 (NIGHT-OWL) #40: Wed Nov 12 06:41:37 CET 2008 martin@night-owl.duskware.de:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/NIGHT-OWL i386

>Description:
The standard address assignement for dynamic IP configurations with pppoe
or ippp does not work any more:

ifconfig pppoe0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.1

silently(!) fails to set inet addresses (adding "inet" on the command line does
not help).

>How-To-Repeat:
s/a
>Fix:
we could add a special commnd/ioctl to switch the interfaces to dynamic IP
mode, but this used to be the documented way to set things up for years.
