Hello!

I'm using Proxmox Virtual Environment 7.4-3 and having trouble to set-up PPPoE to work through a LXC OpenWRT OpenWrt 23.05.3, r23809-234f1a2efa.

This is the container configuration:

cat /etc/pve/lxc/100.conf

Code:
arch: amd64
cores: 4
hostname: openwrt
memory: 2048
ostype: unmanaged
rootfs: local-lvm:vm-100-disk-0,size=10G
swap: 2048

lxc.net.1.name: enp2s0
lxc.net.1.type: phys
lxc.net.1.link: enp2s0

lxc.net.2.name: enp3s0
lxc.net.2.type: phys
lxc.net.2.link: enp3s0

lxc.cgroup.devices.allow: c 108:0 rwm
lxc.mount.entry: /dev/ppp dev/ppp none bind,create=file

And when trying to open a PPPoE connection in OpenWRT's enp2s0 interface the following error is thrown:

Code:
# root@openwrt:/#logread | grep pppd

Mon May 27 13:19:07 2024 daemon.info pppd[3725]: Plugin pppoe.so loaded.
Mon May 27 13:19:07 2024 daemon.info pppd[3725]: PPPoE plugin from pppd 2.4.9
Mon May 27 13:19:07 2024 daemon.err pppd[3725]: Couldn't open the /dev/ppp device: Operation not permitted
Mon May 27 13:19:07 2024 daemon.err pppd[3725]: Sorry - this system lacks PPP kernel support
Mon May 27 13:19:07 2024 daemon.notice netifd: wan (3725): /usr/sbin/pppd: Sorry - this system lacks PPP kernel support

#  root@openwrt:/# pppd
pppd: Sorry - this system lacks PPP kernel support

I'v tried this solution https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/this-system-lacks-ppp-kernel-support.59240/ but had no luck.

I think Proxmox switched to cgroup2 since that work-around, so try lxc.cgroup2.devices.allow: c 108:0 rwm instead.
