Hello everyone. I've recently installed an ADSL modem as my primary connection to the internet. The modem that my provider gave me is a Speedtouch. I have this installed on a Debian sarge machine, which uses a 2.4 kernel. This was one of the first problems I had: this kernel does not support hotplug firmware upload. To be able to upload the firmware I installed the "speedtouch" package which in turn calls ifup on the network interface. As a pre-up command I run br2684ctl and configure the nas0 interface. Only then pppd is called. (I'm doing this detailed description just in case anyone is stuck as I was)
Ok, everything is working apart from one thing: from time to time my provider disconnects me and pppd isn't able to recover. As far as I understood the problem is that the running br2684ctl needs to be killed and then restarted. Since the interface doesn't go down no /etc/network/interface scripts are run. Does any one have any idea on how I can accomplish that? Thanks in advance, -- Paladin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
