Hi all, I recently upgraded to m0n0wall 1.32 by way of a freshly written generic-pc-image to a USB flash drive and manual reconfiguration of everything. I wanted to disconnect my PPPoE session at midnight tonight to check my ISPs usage metering. This is a rare thing I do, but have done in the past with no problem. Upon hitting disconnect, I noticed whilst the button showed PPPoE as 'down' and the button changed to 'connect' as it should, the PPPoE WAN actually reconnected by itself automatically. My first thought was that I had configured dial-on-demand by mistake, but a quick check of the config and subsequent version history shows this feature was removed due to some bug and lack of interest. back in the 1.3 beta days. I checked the diagnostic log and here is the crux of it: <point where i click disconnect> Jan 23 04:34:25 mpd: [pppoe] rec'd signal usr2, closing Jan 23 04:34:25 mpd: [pppoe] link: CLOSE event Jan 23 04:34:25 mpd: [pppoe] LCP: Close event Jan 23 04:34:25 mpd: [pppoe] LCP: state change Opened --> Closing Jan 23 04:34:25 mpd: [pppoe] AUTH: Accounting data for user : 2192 seconds, 5628643 octets in, 1472407 octets out Jan 23 04:34:25 mpd: [pppoe] Bundle up: 0 links, total bandwidth 9600 bps Jan 23 04:34:25 mpd: [pppoe] IPCP: Close event Jan 23 04:34:25 mpd: [pppoe] IPCP: state change Opened --> Closing Jan 23 04:34:25 mpd: [pppoe] IPCP: SendTerminateReq #5 Jan 23 04:34:25 mpd: [pppoe] error writing len 8 frame to bypass: Network is down Jan 23 04:34:25 mpd: [pppoe] IPCP: LayerDown Jan 23 04:34:25 mpd: [pppoe] IFACE: Down event Jan 23 04:34:25 mpd: [pppoe] IPCP: Down event Jan 23 04:34:25 mpd: [pppoe] IPCP: LayerFinish Jan 23 04:34:25 mpd: [pppoe] No NCPs left.

I did some searching but couldn't find anyone else with this, so perhaps it's just me. I did find one mention of the PPPoE reconnecting, but I'm not entirely sure of the context of the message: http://s0.m0n0.ch/wall/list/showmsg.php?id=367/14 Is this normal behaviour for 1.3x? I'm not too worried, but it caught my interest. Thanks for any feedback.
