-if ! grep -q "line maintained by pppoeconf" $INTFILE ; then - sed -i -e 's,provider dsl-provider$, provider dsl-provider\n# please do not modify the following line\n pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintai ned by pppoeconf\n,' $INTFILE -fi +# old crap, unreliable, does not work after reboot +# if ! grep -q "line maintained by pppoeconf" $INTFILE ; then +# sed -i -e 's,provider dsl-provider$, provider dsl-provider\n# please d o not modify the following line\n pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maint ained by pppoeconf\n,' $INTFILE +# fi So the difficult part is to figure out why it is unreliable, and didn't work after a reboot; then, a solution should be simple. Unfortunately I know nothing of linux ppp so I'm not sure I can help much...though it would be simple enough to write a pre-up line if it doesn't exist... Justin
