REPRO
=====
- create a container using lxc
lxc launch 41b3c7aa109d test
- config to allow ppp
lxc config device add test dev_ppp unix-char path=/dev/ppp
- restart and enter the container
lxc restart test
lxc exec test /bin/bash
- run pppoeconf and it fails
root@test:~# pppoeconf
Cannot find device "eth0@if71"
ioctl(SIOCGIFHWADDR): No such device
Cannot find device "eth0@if71"
WORKAROUND
==========
using a preconfigured /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets,
tune nic card name in /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider and issue `pon dsl-provider`
manually.
NOTES
=====
Seems it not strip the aliasing part of the ethernet name and it looks to
`eth0@if71` instead of the `eth0`.
