Hi,
the other day I set up a Feisty box directly connected to a DSL modem. So I had to use pppd and pppoe. The setup utility pppoeconf was already on the system (in /usr/sbin), but the package pppoe was missing (does that make sense: pppoeconf without pppoe ???). I installed pppoe and ran pppoeconf.
A minute later I was online.
After rebooting I was online again. But after suspending the box to disk and resuming there was pppd still kind of running – but useless. IMHO this is ok.
But the user expects to be online again of course.
This is what I did:
lulu:/etc/acpi/suspend.d> cat 01-poff.sh
#!/bin/sh
poff
and
lulu:/etc/acpi/resume.d> cat 99-pon.sh
#!/bin/sh
pon
I intended to terminate pppd via poff when suspending and start a fresh pppd when resuming was nearly finished.
This did not really work. I found an error message telling me that the interface was not up. So I added
ifconfig eth0 up
to the script. I thought I was done now, but at least occasionally the link was not up when I started to access the net.
With
lulu:/etc/acpi/resume.d> cat 99-pon.sh
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig eth0 up
sleep 2
pon
sleep 2
this works now fine.
Using
sudo netstat -nlp --inet
I finally closed all ports. (System | Services).
