Yeah. Did this last week--sorry, the computer is in Berlin so at 
the moment I only have my memory to consult. But I believe the 
deal was, don't put "ppp" and "provider" in your 
/etc/interfaces. Just set up eth0 like a normal LAN interface. 
Then pppoe will automagically put another interface, ppp0, on 
top of it (on account of its command line argument) and that one 
will be ppp.
