From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: Running etc/init.d/network stop should stop the network interfaces in the reverse order than they were brought up. Namely, PPPoE Interfaces should be shut down first, before the underlying Ethernet interface is shut down. Otherwise, the remote end will deem the link open and take a while to time it out, which is annoying if you just wanted to reboot, and afterwards the pppoe doesnt come up. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-7.14-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /etc/rc.d/init.d/network start (during bootup) 2. /etc/rc.d/intt.d/network stop (manually or during shutdown) 3. Actual Results: interfaces are brought up in order: eth0 eth1 ppp0 and are being shut down in order eth0 eth1 ppp0 Expected Results: interfaces should be brought up in order eth0 eth1 ppp0 and be shut down as in ppp0 eth1 eth0 (so that the pppoe session can be properly terminated) Additional info:
Fixed in 7.31-1, somewhat. The order isn't completely reversed, but xDSL interfaces are brought up after other interfaces, and brought down before other interfaces.
