You have to switch off ppp at boot time. leave the file
no_ppp_at _boot in /etc/ppp.
change the external interface to ppp0 uncomment the following
lines in interface
# Option 1.3: PPP/PPPOE (modem connected to eth0)
auto ppp0
iface ppp0 inet ppp
pre-up ip link set eth0 up
provider dsl-provider eth0
now ppp0 the pppoe interface will be started at boot time.
more precisely (i hope) you can read this in:

Sorry cannot help you there, you could look at the sourcecode of
the function this is probably a message to send to a port.
but isn't switching the screen off not an alternative FN-F7 (at least
at thinkpad)
