[Devil-Linux-discuss] dhcpcd config query for DSL-MAX and D-link DSL-300T

[Dick M. <di...@li...>]

I've recently changed adsl service and my adsl modem and now have a 
problem.  If the adsl line goes down, which it does occasionally when it 
feels the need to renegotiate the line rate, the DL network connection 
is disrupted and doesn't recover without manual intervention.

I suspect this is due to the modem (D-link DSL-300T) not setting up its 
internal bridging until it receives a DHCP request from DL.   I've set 
the client lease time in DL to 1800s in the hope that eventually DL will 
renew the lease and recover.

My question is: has anybody else experienced this problem and is it a 
reasonable way to work around it?  Is there a better way?
