Description

(This is a rewording of Bug #13035)

Tier 1 of a Gateway Group is a PPPoE interface.
Tier 2 of the same Gateway Group is a static IPv4 connection.

When the PPPoE Tier is disconnected using the disconnect button in the "Interfaces" GUI, the default route is removed.
The PPPoE Tier shows as "Pending" in the Gateways Status page.
The dpinger log show 5 consecutive "WAN_PPPOE ww.xx.yy.zz: sendto error: 65" error messages

Here is a simple way to reproduce this bug:
- Gateway failover occurs if the PPPoE gateway goes down (ie., removing the internet cable from the WAN port) or if the WAN interface is disabled.
- Gateway failover does not occur if the "PPP disconnect" button is pressed using the GUI Interfaces.

In the following tests, failure occurs in test #6: you can explicitly see that the PPPoE interfacte is the default route while the interface is in the "Pending" status,.

Simple workaround: don't touch that button!

There is no failover and the box is isolated from the world ;-(
