Yes, it's beautiful,
but it doesn't tell you in which file to enter the lines :
config_eth0=( "adsl" )
adsl_user_eth0="username"
Where do you put them ? And yes, I have had a look in /etc/ppp
& all I can see is pppoe.conf , which doesn't look like that.
I handled the change by editing /etc/init.d/rp-pppoe , which now says :
depend() {
use net
before ntpd
after domainname
}
start() {
ebegin "Starting pppoe (adsl)"
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/pppoe-start
eend $?
}
stop() {
ebegin "Stopping pppoe (adsl)"
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/pppoe-stop
eend $?
}
and my machine connects to the Internet correctly at every boot.
Really, this change has not been adequately documented or publicised:
that does happen sometimes, but when it does, it needs attention.
Thanks as always to the devs for their volunteer work.
