It would make a whole lot more sense to write a script that checks if
the pppoe connection is up, then issue a start (or restart) if it's down.
Darrick,
script pppoe-connect checks pppoe connection and new script is not if
necessary. But script pppoe-start terminate pppoe-connect if first attempt does
not succeed.
I comment out lines 191 and 194 in file pppoe-start:
#kill $CONNECT_PID > /dev/null 2>&1
#rm -f "$PIDFILE" "$PIDFILE.pppd" "$PIDFILE.pppoe" "$PIDFILE.start"
Finally pppoe works well in Astlinux.
Hope Kris add this changes in trunk.

Dominko
