Is there any update on this old bug? This problem is killing my home server- when the connection drops it fails to reconnect entirely. I have partially worked around the problem by putting a call to ifup <connection> in the post-ifdown of the interfaces file and removing the retry parameters from my dsl-provider script, but if there is some transient problem that prevents the reconnection attempt once, this configuration will not retry the connection again.
Given that this apparently works with upstream's code (according to the previous submission to the bug, I have not tested that yet myself, though I would like to) and it's actually quite a serious problem (all pppoe connections, whatever quality, will encounter transients that cause termination occasionally) that could render a server inaccessible, I think this should be investigated as soon as possible. I am happy to attempt to contribute resources to the investigation. Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
