[Bug 53877] Re: kppp does not assign proper default gateway

[PeteDonnell]

I can confirm this under Feisty. I have an ethernet network at home,
which normally connects via a modem router. The router IP is the default
gateway. Recently the DSL connection was  unavailable, and we had to use
dialup. The connection was established (although pppd always crashed on
the first connection attempt, and a second attempt had to be made, which
always succeeded), but gateway problems prevented access to the
internet.

I found two solutions: 'sudo route add default ppp0', which is very
inconvenient, particularly as many of the users of the computer don't
have admin access, and editing the file /etc/ppp/peers/kppp-options to
include the lines "defaultroute" and "replacedefaultroute". Prior to
this edit, the file contained only the line "noauth". In my opinion,
these options should probably be included by default.
