As long as we receive data from the peer, don't worry. When we have not
received anything within the "max_noreceive" period, we start sending LCP
echo requests and count them, until we receive an answer (or some data)
or the "maxalive" count of not answered echo requests is reached.
All this is checked at a global 10 seconds interval for all interfaces.
The "max_noreceive" period and the "maxalive" count are configurable per
interface.
Hopefully this will fix ALTQ for ISDN and PPPoE interfaces.
While there remove an unsued function which contained dubious code
(accessing interface queue internals w/o the proper macros).
- length was one off in names and secrets.
- add win 98 kludge but we keep it disabled for now.
- setup the authorization bit early so that we don't end up doing ppp
negotiations without authorization.
timeout connection that made it to phase NETWORK yet. (For drivers using
the internal timeout mechanism; isdnd, that does the timeout handling for
ISDN drivers, still needs to be fixed.)
Thanks to Wolfgang Solfrank for finding this.
a configurable maximum (default: 5).
Some ISPs shut down accounts (at least temporarily) after to many bad
retries. This hit me recently due to a stupid pilot error and the fast
retry rate.
containing the userland visible thinks (i.e. ioctl definitions).
Remove all (both) old ioctls, as they had a brain dead API and made keeping
binary compatibility more or less impossible.
Replace by several new ioctls. While there, remove any arbitrary limits
(resulting from the old, broken ioctls) and allow any length of names
and passwords.
it again when going from INITIAL to STARTING. This has been done for
passive or auto-conecting interfaces always, but not for permanent
ones.
This fixes session reestablishement for PPPoE interfaces without LINK1 set,
and probably also closes PR kern/11161.
Thanks to Jared D. McNeill and Ross Harvey for sugesting debug methology.
Collect both local and remote address and set them to the interface in
one step (the peer adress was not set at all before).
This causes the peer address now to show up on the interface and all
messages to the routing socket to be send with correct data. The latter
has been the last missing piece to complete PPPoE support.
