I recently switched from cable to DSL on a Gentoo router and I'm having trouble keeping a stable connection. Periodically I need to run '/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart' before it will connect to the Westell modem (which is also a router although AT&T won't admit it). The weird thing is that rebooting the system doesn't reacquire the connection. I have to actually issue '/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart'. Does anyone know why rebooting doesn't reacquire the connection and restarting the interface does?
