Looks like you did not already configure your ethernet connection and pppoeconf is not correctly configuring /etc/network/interfaces to raise eth1 before starting the PPP connections. I have seen a similar bug in the pppoeconf package in the latest Ubuntu release, but I do not know if this is related. It mangled in some way the interfaces file but I can't remember the details (maybe this was related to eth0 using DHCP). (FYI, you do not need a second network card to use PPPoE, you can just connect your modem to your switch.) -- ciao, Marco
