A quick google tells me that there are all sorts of places: /etc/{modules,modprobe.d,modules-load.d} More googling tells me that other distros use other places. Comparing my old (and working) debian with the current not-quite-working one tells me that these have all changed some. And so I begin to suspect the currently fashionable suspect: systemd :-) Now if a band-aid solution is the best we can have, I'd prefer a user level one. Meddling with a system-level file means all sorts of headaches at unexpected points of time. eg when upgrading I am likely to get a dialog saying: "Here is a file that is different from the system supplied one. Which do you want?" I was more hoping for some new(?) /etc/network/interfaces stanza that would do the job. [All my attempts so far on that front have not worked] So for now I make do with this user-level bandaid: $ cat ~/bin/pon sudo modprobe pppoe sudo pon dsl-provider tl;dr: 1. It was working; and unexpectedly stopped 2. I would file a bug-report; not sure against what... pppoeconf maybe? 3.
