Hi folks,

I've setup a pppoe connection to my ISP (Deutsche Telekom),
following pppoe(4). Problem:

At boot time the connection is not setup immediately.
"ifconfig -A" shows just

re0: flags=28843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NOINET6> mtu 1500
                lladdr 80:ee:73:95:c1:0c

                status: no carrier
                inet 0.0.0.0 --> 0.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffffff

It takes 2 or 3 minutes till the connection is established.
I have seen very similar things on Soekris. Also hostname.pppoe0 seems to be picky about the syntax. Where you can just [enter] for normal ethernet interfaces, hostname.pppoe0 expects most commands on one line (or separated by '\' [enter]) I
believe. But I haven't really looked in to this.
