Forced separation of internet connection => Solution for reconnection

The issue is with the PPPoE authentication process and that might be caused by something on the ISP's back-end.

The ppp instance on the router is issuing a SIGTERM (for unknown reason) signal

If you want to try to debug the matter it would require to alter /etc/ppp/options and add

debug
kdebug 7

also try with the ppp options (same file)

passive
maxfail 0
persist

The final process arguments pppd is running with can be queried with ps -aux | grep pppd - :warning: you may want to obfuscate potentially private data such as username | password


For verbose debug output in the logs of netifd it would require to edit /etc/init.d/network

modify procd_set_param command /sbin/netifd by adding -l 5, it should read then

procd_set_param command /sbin/netifd -l 5

and add below that line

procd_set_param stderr 1

Once done/set execute service network restart ; logread -f
