That is definitively unrelated. The reporting service was dhclient(8).

This is because you have one or more files on that system that you installed in error. One might be /etc/hostname.re0, and, because you had a vlan0 defined, you must also have a /etc/hostname.vlan0 defined. You don't have an Ethernet network of any kind, these files are unneeded and may be safely deleted.
They don't cause damage, and are not involved with PPP in any way. They only cause dhclient(8) to be run and it produces error messages. I'll repeat, or restate, what I've said previously. The re0 network interface is unused, there is no Ethernet network connected. And the vlan0 network interface cannot connect, because not only is there no Ethernet, it is not an Ethernet network connected via a managed switching backplane deployed with IEEE 802.1Q networking capability. |

sorry for digging up the dead (zombie fan btw), but I'm having the exact same problem with 3G modem on my 6.3. GarryR, have you managed to set up the connection? I'm completely clueless...I was reading some manuals, config files etc. but can't put it all together to work.
appreciate any help. thanks in advance |

Sorry, no, I never did solve this, I used OpenBsd on a VM, and bridge so that it could connect to internet, at that time it was Debian host, later when my ISP / and cell phone providers came up with
USB tethering, on a newer phone, I stopped using the Broad Band device and started using the usb tethering, With the usb tethering the DHCP, works, and I start it with : Code:
doas dhclient urndis0 If at all possible, get a modern cell phone, one with android, I am using a brand called "Blu", but I am sure others are similar, the USB tethering works great. I have not used the 3g broad band device for 2 years now,...as you can see in the thread more the 1 person tried really hard to help on this, and I did a lot of searching , research, if it is possible, I never found anything or anyone that could confirm it is possible , and that they have done it. Sorry

Oh man. Thanks a lot anyway.
It seems like one of those never-to-be-explained topics: is the Bible true?, who did 9/11?, can OpenBSD work with 3G USB modem?, why does Donald Duck wear no pants but when he gets out of the shower he puts on a towel? etc... |

The brand of the modem may be a factor, I just did a search using these keywords:
Code:
can OpenBSD work with 3G USB modem? Another site shows what is supported (maybe) https://man.openbsd.org/umsm.4 Has a example, that might work , if it happens to be a Cingular Wireless Quote:
How ever, when I started to try to configure it for OpenBsd, it occurred to me , I may have actually had it working at some point, but by coincidence, the lousy ISP was down, and mislead me, into thinking my configuration was bad,... not a easy to test, in my situation. What brand, etc is your 3g broadband device ? Still after all said and done,now that they have devices that can be tethered, the 3 broad band devices are rather outdated, for example the ISP, and cell phone company that I bought from does NOT even sell them any more, all though the same chip that was used in the device, is being used in my phone that I use for tethering,... I guess what I am saying, unless you simply have no alternative, or enjoy experimenting, it does not seem like it would be worth the time and trouble to try to figure it out. If your device works on a Windows system, and Linux, I am sure it can be configured to work on OpenBsd, but it won't be easy.

GarryR, thank you for your engagement in the topic. My modem is ZTE MF195, which is supported in OpenBSD. I thought, how hard can it be? Stupid me..

I noticed you started another topic 3 days ago, here:
http://daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=10660 And I posted , or though I did, but something went wrong, any way are these related ? I am going to post in the other thread, because what I found is more related to that question.

yes, I did start a topic there but since no-one responded I decided to dig up this old topic. We can move there and just let it rest in peace
