    Hello everyone.

    I've recently installed an ADSL modem as my primary connection to
    the internet. The modem that my provider gave me is a Speedtouch. I
    have this installed on a Debian sarge machine, which uses a 2.4
    kernel. This was one of the first problems I had: this kernel does
    not support hotplug firmware upload. To be able to upload the
    firmware I installed the "speedtouch" package which in turn calls
    ifup on the network interface. As a pre-up command I run br2684ctl
    and configure the nas0 interface. Only then pppd is called. (I'm
    doing this detailed description just in case anyone is stuck as I
    was)

    Ok, everything is working apart from one thing: from time to time
    my provider disconnects me and pppd isn't able to recover. As far as
    I understood the problem is that the running br2684ctl needs to be
    killed and then restarted. Since the interface doesn't go down no
    /etc/network/interface scripts are run.

    Does any one have any idea on how I can accomplish that?

    Thanks in advance,
