Bug#347958: Fails to establish pppoe connection

Well, do you think this is caused by a broken config file?
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.)
That means exactly what?
Well, my question is quite simple: How can I get a solid working
configuration?
I just attached my dsl-provider file to this mail.
I also attached a stripped /var/log/syslog file which contains a first
connection (using the "good old working" ppp package) and in the second
part a failed connection using the latest ppp package. I would be happy
if you could tell me what might be the problem in pppoeconf that if
I understand you right created an unusable config file - at least unusable
with the latest ppp package.
Kind regards and thanks again for your quick response
Andreas.
