PPP(oe) WAN connection not established when using Wireless-Only hotspot

[Murray Long]

I've run into a problem when using PPP (or PPPoe ) internet connection, with
the wireless only hotspot option. On startup, the router gets into an
endless cycle or connecting and reconnecting.

Here's why it happens:
The "/etc/init.d/S90chillli start" script is run to start coova-chilli
the wireless_split function then restarts all network interfaces which
starts the ppp dialup
Coova-chilli is then started but fails to initialize because it can't
determine the ip address of the radius server (because the ppp is slow and
the connection is not yet established)
5 seconds later (still not enough time for ppp to establish a connection)
"S90chilli checkrunning" is called which detects chilli is not running and
restarts the whole process.

Has anyone experienced this before?
Should I be filling a bug report or something? How is this done in the coova
project?
