After a lot of experimenting I finally figured out what was the problem. Actually it wasn't GNU/Linux issue at all. I have a dual boot machine and apparently pppoe program for windoze does not disconnect before shutdown. That leaves (Westel) modem busy, and when I boot Linux after that I cannot disconnect or restart the DSL connection unless I reset modem by switching it off. The solution is simple -- I just have to make sure that I disconnect DSL before I shut down windoze. I want to thank Christian and everyone else who helped me sort this out.
