        Hrmm, doesn't sound good. It would be nice to hear something from the pfSense dev guys in order to get this fully fixed.

          Is there an actual diff for these changes instead of replacing whole files? That would go a long way toward getting the problem fixed.

          And I am not quite sure, does this fix involve the use of the old mpd 3.x binary or is it still mpd4? If so, it would be better to make it work with mpd5 instead of 3, as that brings other options to the table as well.

            sorry, i had no free time during the last days,
            but if you look at my last post, there is a diff attached. (no old binaries are needed.)

            i first tested the old mpd3, but actually that was not the problem/error.
            the most important changes are the includes in /etc/rc.newwanip
            and since pfsense is heavily based on php it make sense to add more logging
            (at least for beta [hdd] installs) like in /etc/rc.php_ini_setup (commented out).

              8 posts up antiben supplied a diff.
              Updated to snap from Fri Feb 26 23:14:37, mpd4 is still used. I've seen that mpd5 is installed too, but not used. Will this be automatically activated or do I have to change something to activate mpd5?

                igor - it's there if someone wants to experiment, but it is not activated yet. There may be some config changes and other things that need to happen before it would be switched out. Most important is to find out if it actually fixed the reconnection issues…

                Hopefully I can get some time in the next day or two to spend on it.

                      This auto connect/reconnect issue was also present in m0n0wall, but was repaired, perhaps we could do the same thing?

                        For anybody please try this patch on latest snapshots and report how their pppoe behaves on mpd5.

                          Working great for me so far ermal. I kicked my session about 5 times and each time it reconnected within 5-10 seconds, as it used to.

                          Looks like mpd4 is just a dud when it comes to PPPoE reconnecting.

                            Hello,

                            Thanks for your cleaner patch, I just wiped my DIY patchy and apply this, and I second that as jimp said so now willing this one to be committed anytime soon. And, mpd5 ROCKS!

                            cheers,

                                  You can do it on NanoBSD like so:

                                  # /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
                                   <fetch or="" scp="" the="" mpd5.txt="" file="" to="" box="" somehow=""># cd /
                                  # patch -p1 < /root/mpd5.txt
                                  # /etc/rc.conf_mount_ro</fetch> 
                                  

                                  Just make sure you are running a snap that includes the md5 binary before you do that.

                                      im on the 4th feb nanobsd , no idea how to check if mpd5 is there or no

                                      Go to a shell and type:

                                      # which mpd5
                                      /usr/local/sbin/mpd5
                                      

                                      If you get back that second line, you have it. Though that snapshot is probably too early, you'll need to update/reflash to a newer one.

                                        it says the exact line u mentioned but when i ran the below
                                        /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
                                        through web interface, the web interface seemed to have died, tried restarting also but no effect, need to reboot the box.

                                          Yeah, that should have been done from a shell, not the webgui. The Diagnostics > Command interface in the GUI automatically switches to rw/ro during execution.

                                            hmmmmmmmmmm….it's not that difficult, first click & save ermal's patch somewhere on your local pc, then go grab shell from the console not from the webGUI, then follow jimp's instruction, it's only 3 minutes cook. have fun!

                                            cheers,


                                            ooops, you quick  ;D
