Description Jared Johnson 2006-10-27 02:59:17 UTC

Configuring DSL in yast to disconnect time 0 modifies /etc/sysconfig/network/providers/provider* IDLETIME='0' parameter in the config file correctly. However the /etc/syconfig/network/ifcfg-dsl* PPPD_OPTIONS='' parameter is blank allowing for the idle 600 parameter in /etc/ppp/options to be the default causing the connection to drop after 10 minutes.  This should be commented in the default ppp/options file or the IDLETIME parameter of the provider should pass 'idle 0' to pppd.  I do believe it is better left in provider* than dsl* as each provider can have their own timeout using the same line.

Comment 1 Jared Johnson 2006-10-27 03:01:16 UTC

After considerating commenting out idle 600 in will not solve the problem, the IDLETIME parameter needs to function as it should.  Maybe have the provider parameter set the dsl parameter?

use AUTO_RECONNECT='yes' as workarround
