      @jimp:

      Can someone here who can reproduce this look over the items I posted in this thread to see if anything there helps?

      i tried it out doesnt work, after editing the linkdown file, once i unplug the cable i start getting the below stuff in log as wella s serial console

      vr1: vr_link_task: Tx/Rx shutdown error – resetting
      vr1: restarting
      vr1: vr_stop: Rx shutdown error
      vr1: Using force reset command.

      and still the pppoe wont reconnection on replugging the cable, needs a reboot only

      can we have a custom solution till this issue is traced and fixed of making pfsense reboot once 5 connection attempts fail coz i will be going out of town a month from now and i need to keep my connection alive at all times so by a reboot, pppoe reconnects fine so atleast this way there wont be any internet connection loss while im away as there wont be any1 to physically reboot it

        What you can do as a quick workaround for yourself is put a '/usr/local/sbin/pfSctl -c 'interface reload $iface' where $iface is wan/lan/optX

        That should kick a restart of mpd after link is down.

                Just add the line and do not touch anything else.
                But since you ask add after that line :)

                            i reported the same to freebsd mailing list as well as the mpd bug list but there is no outcome, mpd developer blames pfsense for it and the mailing list just recommended some settings which didnt work and ppl left the topic down the list and forgot about it

                              Failing that, give this a try: Edit usr/local/sbin/ppp-linkdown and comment out or remove this line (keep an unaltered copy around though so you can restore the copy if it doesn't help)

                              /usr/sbin/ngctl shutdown $1:

                              This worked for me! Sorry it took this long for me to be able to test this.

                              It appears that the change to that file did survive a reboot, but will it survive an upgrade (can I just say I'm so happy that 2.0 is final)? Better yet, here's to hoping this can be fixed for 2.1.

                                doesnt still work for me, while ur at it, can u test without using a switch between pfsense and ur isp modem etc?

                                  I can try that but I can't make any guarantee about timeline, as this is a production system.

                                      if adding a switch does make it work along with the patch then i would need to replace my existing switch instead of buying a dedicated one just to make pppoe reconnect in which case can some1 recommend me the cheapest 10/100mbps switch with VLAN support or would it be possible to use one switch without vlan and use 6 ports for LAN and 2 ports for pppoe (1 from pf wan to switch and 1 from isp modem to switch).

                                      im just trying to avoid using a dedicated switch simply for pppoe and even though if there is a power failure, it still wont reconnect untill pfsense is rebooted

                                      or to make things easier, im ready to pay $50 if some1 could simply make me a patch which would detect the unsuccessful pppoe reconnects for about 5mins or so and then reboot pfsense, i have cron package installed and running
