Breezy: pppoe doesn't run without pppoeconf after each boot - shall I file a bug?

Hi,

I have a fully up-to-date Breezy, upgraded from Hoary several weeks ago.

Some time ago (2 weeks or so?) it stopped to connect via pppoe on boot,
and I wondered whether to file a bug.

If I run pon manually it says,

mario at phonic: ~ $ sudo pon
The file /etc/ppp/peers/provider does not exist. Please create it or use
a command line argument to use another file in the /etc/ppp/peers/
directory.

This is correct, but dsl-provider has so far sufficed

mario at phonic: ~ $ ls /etc/ppp/peers/
dsl-provider  wvdial  wvdial-pipe

If I run "pon dsl-provider", I get this (debug option is turned on in
peers/dsl-provider):

mario at phonic: $ plog
Aug 18 18:27:15 localhost pppd[6675]: Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.
Aug 18 18:27:15 localhost pppd[6677]: pppd 2.4.3 started by root, uid 0
Aug 18 18:27:15 localhost pppd[6677]: sendPacket: send: Network is down
Aug 18 18:27:15 localhost pppd[6677]: Exit.

If I run pppoeconf again, it works until the next reboot.


Kind regards,
Mario
