Hi debianers, after a recent update to unstable (haha), I have been experiencing difficult to trace problems in getting a net connection via pppoe to the German DSL (T-DSL) provider. Seemingly at random, it does not work upon booting,but does work after 1..n reboots.
Here is what happens if I try to ifup the system (the DSL modem is on eth0). anna:/home/peter# ifup -a ifup: interface lo already configured ifup: interface eth0 already configured anna:/home/peter# /etc/init.d/networking restart Reconfiguring network interfaces...ifup: interface lo already configured done. anna:/home/peter# plog Nov 14 07:57:51 localhost pppd[5491]: sendPacket: send: Network is down Nov 14 07:57:51 localhost pppd[5491]: Exit.
