Package: diald
Version: 0.99.1-1

Diald correctly brings up the link when it first recieves a packet, and
maintains the link until data stops flowing.  It then brings the link
down, and, on 2.0 kernels, will never bring it up again.

The problem is a logic error in filter.c.  There are a couple of places
(idle_filter_init and idle_filter_proxy) where the author has written

  if (af_packet && (fd = socket(...)) < 0) {
    af_packet = 0;
    set up fd the simple way
  }

when the condition ought to be

  if (!af_packet || (fd = socket(...)) < 0) {

I suspect that the #ifdeffery around these conditions disguised the
problem during testing.

the bugs that were still opened against it.

this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.
