It seems strange to me that you have this problem because I once had a setup similar to yours (under 3.4-3.5-3.6) and never had this problem. Maybe you did not do something right, maybe it's a bug but without showing more info one can only guess. The info required here would be the version you are running, your ppp.conf file (sanitized to remove passwords, of course) and your linkup and linkdown script if they contain anything. On another topic, if you are running 3.7 or higher, you could give the in-kernel pppoe a try, unless, of course, you have already tried and some wierd thing your provider is doing prevents it from working.
