Package: ppp
Version: 2.4.3-20050321+1
Severity: important
Hi,
I'm very sorry hat I'm unable to send this bug report using the ppp
version in question but without a connection it is just hard to send
something. So please read that this bug is concerned to version 2.4.4b1-1
of the ppp package. I just grabbed the old package from snapshot.debian.net
to get my network back.
The problem: In the beginn of this week I updated to the latest testing which
included an update of ppp. After I tried to establish the next pppoe
(ADSL) connection this failed. I verified the logfiles
(grep ppp /var/log/syslog) and compared these with the output of the
old ppp version but found nor relevant difference here (except the
version number of the pppd daemon).
I tried to reconfigure my setup using pppoeconf which worked for the
first time - but failed immediately after a poff; pon dsl-provider
sequence. I was not able to get a connection until I rebooted the
next day. At this day I've got some kind of random connections: I tried
pon several times and sometimes this worked. When I switched back to the
old version (see version number in bug report) this also did not worked
out of the box - another pppoeconf was necessary. I do not really
understand what this script really does. I never changed my input to
the script and the /etc/ppp directory did not changed after a call.
But now I got my ppp working again - well mostly. Even when I switched
back to the former ppp version the connection can not be established
relieably after every pon. Mostly it works after a pppoeconf
(which is kind of annoing because of #334361). So it might be that
the trouble was not caused by ppp itself but perhaps one of it
dependencies that was moved to testing together with ppp in the
beginning of this week
Even beeing a DD myself I have no idea about all this ppp stuff and I'm
really in vain what to do here. I'm completely clueless and really
need some help. I guess you will need some more information and I'm
willing to provide anything that might be necessary. So feel free to
ask for further information.
Kind regards and thanks for maintaining ppp
Andreas.
