Hi Michael,

What AstLinux version are you using?

Well, PPPOEKERNEL="yes" *is* the default, look in "/stat/etc/rc.conf" .  AFAIK, 
PPPOEKERNEL="yes" is required for PPPoE to work at this point.

If for some reason you edited "/stat/etc/rc.conf" (shame, shame), test by...
--
$ show-union | grep rc.conf
--
should not show any output.

In summary, you should not need to set PPPOEKERNEL="yes" in user.conf since it 
is set by default in "/stat/etc/rc.conf".

Possibly the reboot is what it needed.

Lonnie
