PPPoE after reboot.

kccricket
The first time I set up my PPPoE with my ADSL connection, using ASL 3.2, it worked perfectly.  However, when I restarted the ASL box the PPPoE interface would not go up.  This I have discovered:

SSH into the box and then start as su.
code:
# /sbin/init.d/pppoe start
can not find /etc/pppoe.conf
That would be a problem.  Apparently WebAdmin does not properly export this file or it doesn't even try.

Workaround:
Log into WebAdmin, Network/Interfaces.  Edit your PPPoE interface and change something (e.g. If you are using DHCP/bootp, switch to static and use a bogus IP).  Wait a few moments, edit the interface again and change it back to the way it should be. Wait about five minutes before deciding it didn't work.

And another thing, does ASL 3.2 automatically try to re-establish the PPPoE connection after it has been severed externally (e.g. the modem got shut off)?

Edit: Typo correction.

    Have you waited long enough (>15min)?

    This script can NOT be started from console.
    It is called from the MiddleWare directly.
