Description of problem: Every time after 'ifdown ppp0' command execution or during system reboot process, my DSL connection gets deleted, so I need to recreate it every time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create new DSL PPPoE connection via 'drakconnect' 2. Connect to internet 'ifup ppp0' 3. Bring interface down 'ifdown ppp0' 4. Try to bring interface up again 'ifup ppp0' [root@localhost]# ifup ppp0 RTNETLINK answers: No such device Cannot find device "ppp0" Using interface ppp0 Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/1 CHAP authentication succeeded CHAP authentication succeeded local IP address 82.199.xxx.xx remote IP address 82.199.xxx.x primary DNS address 82.199.xx.xxx secondary DNS address 82.199.xxx.xxx [root@localhost]# ifdown ppp0 pppoe: read (asyncReadFromPPP): Session 61919: Input/output error <-- this message is a norm. [root@localhost]# ifup ppp0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0 does not exist ifup-ppp for ppp0 exiting
To Thierry for starters because of 'drakconnect'.

Some more investigation. 'drakconnect' creates at least two required files for TYPE=ADSL connection to work properly, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 and /etc/ppp/peers/ppp0 What I've noticed is execution of 'ifdown ppp0' deletes /etc/ppp/peers/ppp0 file. Not sure if it's intended behaviour, but next execution of 'ifup ppp0' fails, because of absent /etc/ppp/peers/ppp0 file.
Created attachment 11184 [details] ifcfg-ppp0
Created attachment 11185 [details] /etc/ppp/peers/ppp0
As a workaround I had to manually alter generated ifcfg-ppp0 to use TYPE=xDSL instead. This TYPE uses external scripts for ifup/ifdown which are parts of rp-pppoe package.
I think this is the upstream fix for this https://github.com/deekej/initscripts/commit/f25f4828ea1c56c95d91586bec7403ab6cd48d76

I confirm, applying the above changes fixes the initial problem.

Bump, this still affects mga8.
As Simon said in comment 8 this bug still valid for mga8. And to make matters worse, the solution from comment 6 doesn't work anymore for me... What about you, Simon? The original link to that solution is dead, so here's another one: https://github.com/fedora-sysv/initscripts/pull/156/commits/f25f4828ea1c56c95d91586bec7403ab6cd48d76
Yes, I've just applied this change manually again.
Changing this.

Heh, that's really odd... In my case, /etc/ppp/peers/ppp0 file keeps being deleted after 'ifdown ppp0' command even now, regardless of changes made to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown-post script. And IIRC, the solution mentioned in comment 6 & now in comment 9, in my case, worked for about a month in mga7, but then stopped again for some unknown reasons.
