Restart the init script? config_ppp9=( "ppp" ) plugins_ppp9=( "pppoe" ) link_ppp9="eth1" username_ppp9="XXX" pppd_ppp9=( "noauth" "defaultroute" "holdoff 0" ) That works perfectly for me. It reconnects automatically. To start/stop the connection at will: yes, you have to start/stop the init.d-script. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Precisely! See the thread on emerge wvdial issues. Why do we now need _two_files /etc/conf.d/net _and_ ../peers/provider? __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

My internet connection has a habit of getting disconnected every six hours. Does the kernel mode PPPoE automatically reconnect properly? Well, if it doesn't, how do I start and stop the connection at will? Restart the init script? Thanks, Mrugesh pgp5KCL1QUvO3.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] Re: pppd and adsl
First thanks! As Mrugesh mentioned rp-pppoe-3.8, I took a look in the rp-pppoe ebuild file and found this, "Gentoo is moving toward common configuration file for all network interfaces. Please use baselayout adsl module for configuring your network using rp-pppoe or, better yet, use generic PPP support available in baselayout-1.12." I unemerged rp-pppoe and still succeed to connect. In fact I found there is a file "rp-pppoe.so" in the directory /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.3/ so I think rp-pppe is not necessary for adsl connect. In the ppp ebuild file, "Pon, poff and plog scripts have been supplied for experienced users. ... The old /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 script has gone! The new way of handling PPP connections of any kind (PPPoE, PPPoA, etc) is through the baselayout's pppd net module." I've set the /etc/conf.d/net, but what is the new way to make PPP connections up/off without pon/poff? pon/poff need to edit /etc/ppp/peer/provider and this is not the "common configuration file". For Farhan's question, my situation is that I don't add eth0 and wlan0 to any run level, but they start up after my system starts up. However, the start up message shows only lo is started. Though confusing about this, it's Ok... I don't know if my situation has something in common with yours. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I have no clue what's wrong here. But i have to tell you, that my net.ppp0 was provided by net-dialup/ppp instead of baselayout. So i symlinked net.lo to net.ppp9 and used net.ppp9 instead.
