No automatic connect to ISP

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

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,
-
can it be commited so i can also benefit from it using latest snapshots?
-
or could some1 tell me what command to run in order to apply the patch directly in a nanobsd box?

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/mpd5If 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

Typo? What typo? ;-)

this is what i get

Hmm… Looks like a unified diff to me...

Tried the patch with snap from Sun Mar 7 00:22:39 EST, but got errors:

a simple solution would be if some1 could simply upload the interfaces.inc file after the patch applied so everyone else could simply replace the existing file with it to test the new patch.

I've just re-installed to pfSense-1.2.3-RELEASE-LiveCD-Installer.iso.gz and this does not contain MPD5 as far as i can tell. Running the command 'which mdp5' results in 'mpd5: Command not found'.
'which mpd' works though, /usr/local/sbin/mpd
Now that I am running on a different version, I'll see how it goes with the auto-reconnect and general connection stability.

This thread is for pfSense 2.0 beta (it's in the 2.0 board, even) - it will not work on 1.2.3.
