Enable new ip_pppoe module over remote/PPPoE connection is "dangerous"

slu

Hi,

if enable the new if_pppoe module all PPPoE connections go down, so far so clear and there
is a NOTE information on this setting.

But if I only have this single internet connection over PPPoE I lost completely remote access until reboot (no issue on local access).

Is it possible to add a second checkbox for auto reboot after applying this setting?

Hmm, you mean it kills the existing mpd5 pppoe session before you see the reboot screen to agree to it?

yes that was exactly the problem, I locked me out because I tried this remotely over the PPPoE connection :)

Hmm, interesting. Let me see.....
