what you mean by disconnect ? DSL out of sync ?
No that means some provider make a constraint disconnect every 24h. So he needs the option for the pppoe settings which reconnect immediatly to the provider without having traffic or not.
By default, openwrt reconnect automatically pppoe when disconnection is initiated by isp ... in fact openwrt try to reconnect always when connection is lost, so if you unplug your modem et replug, openwrt will reconnect without problem...
I installed cron and ntp; syncing the routers time with every connect, I have cron force a re-dial at a time when I am asleep. Simply because the 24h reconnect will otherwise occur at a random time and it's annoying to get offlined while chatting or during a download. However for other / random disconnects, OpenWRT reconnects by default, even when the modem loses sync it keeps trying to connect. If that's not the case for you, please post your pppoe related config?
