Hi,

Thanks for all replies I got.
I finally got it working.

Here is quick manual for those who will try to do it in future.

1. Register your modem on windows pc.
2. Restart the modem and connect it to your freebsd.
3. To activate my NIC I put these into /etc/rc.conf

network_interfaces="vr0 lo0"
ifconfig_rl0="media 10baseT/UTP up"

3. Reboot and check the nic status.
[sheyh@sheyh]% ifconfig vr0
vr0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet6 fe80::205:5dff:fee0:b482%vr0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        ether 00:05:5d:e0:b4:82
        media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP)
        status: active

Note: NIC must be in active status.
My problem was 'no carrier' status of my nic. That was CABLE problem.
I changed cable and it become active. So if you are getting 'no carrier'
check your cable.

4. Setup pppoe.
lines from /etc/ppp.conf

#########################################3
default:
 set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command

woosh:
  set device PPPoE:vr0
  set mode ddial
  set authname username@woosh.co.nz
  set authkey yourpassword
  set speed sync
  set mru 1458
  set mtu 1458
  set dial
  set login
  set ifaddr 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
  add default HISADDR
#####################################
        
Note: mtu 1458 is important for www to work. I couldn't get any website opened with
the default mtu. However any other network activity was fine.

5. Now you can check your connection with:

[root@sheyh]# ppp -ddial woosh

if everything fine you are connected now. Try to ping some hosts.

6. To activate woosh at startup put these lines in /etc/rc.conf

ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_nat="NO"
ppp_profile="woosh"

you may want to activate nat as well, but I don't really need it.

That's it :)
