You can altogether do away with rp-pppoe, if you look in /etc/conf.d/net.example, you'll find the new confug syntax for bringing the ADSL connection up. It's like this : config_ppp0=( "ppp" ) link_ppp0="eth0" plugins_ppp0=( "pppoe" ) username_ppp0='username' password_ppp0='password' pppd_ppp0=( "noauth" "updetach" "defaultroute" "usepeerdns" "holdoff 0" ) You don't need rp-pppoe package anymore to use your ADSL connection. > however, the > pppoe-status always returns message says that the PID file could not be > found (which is definity wrong!). my network was working of course.. so. > I found this issue was caused by the $PIDFILE which is defined in the > /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf and read by pppoe-status script. but the comment right > above that line says: > > # NB: Gentoo overrides PIDFILE when pppoe-start is run from the > # networking scripts.

Strange!! I had never come across this issue when I was using rp-pppoe for my ADSL connection.
