Bug#262941: d-i 01aug2004 => pppoe, network, ppoeconf problems
Hello,
Following the hint from Savio Ramos, I installed etherconf.
The package tried to configure dhcp.
I configured it for static, then edited /etc/network/interfaces ,
commenting out the lines of static configuration.
After, called pppoeconf and it "seemed" to work.
But after a new reboot, pppoe did not worked again.
Weird: a new pppoeconf cycle and pppoe is up again, until the next boot.
See the plog after a boot:
Aug 2 20:59:31 debian pppd[754]: RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.3 compiled against pppd 2.4.2
Aug 2 20:59:31 debian pppd[758]: pppd 2.4.2 started by root, uid 0
Aug 2 20:59:32 debian pppd[758]: PPP session is 5304
Aug 2 20:59:32 debian pppd[758]: Failed to create PPPoE socket: Address family not supported by protocol
Aug 2 20:59:32 debian pppd[758]: Exit.
Now, see the plog after a pppoeconf (ip numbers edited):

Aug 2 21:03:23 debian pppd[1101]: secondary DNS address 200.zz.xx.yy
What is wrong?
Why a pppoe connection can not be made after a reboot?
Is there a missing module?
Is the problem at some network configuration file?
The d-i from 13 july had a working pppoe.
Thanks.
André Felipe
