> (1) Why rp-pppoe is deprecated?

ppp included the pppoe-plugin known from rp-pppoe. the pppoe-plugin uses
the kernel-mode PPPoE. There is no need for rp-pppoe anymore, because
ppp offers everything needed.

I have no clue what's wrong here.

But i have to tell you, that my net.ppp0 was provided by net-dialup/ppp
instead of baselayout. So i symlinked net.lo to net.ppp9 and used
net.ppp9 instead. (I'm using ~x86 baselayout with x86 ppp)
