It do not make sense to me. Are you on wifi or wired connection? Can you post : release? etch or lenny? /etc/network/interface /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider Did you set persist in dsl-provider ? I do not think udev kills pppoe but I am not using it now. I am updating netwoek section but still useful as is.
