-----Original Message----- From: arch-general-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Thomas Bächler Sent: Thu 12/8/2011 17:18 You could first try this: ip link set eth0 up netcfg pppoe This should work. As Javier pointed out below, you can put the 'ip' command into a PRE_UP statement in your netcfg profile. +++ Thank you :) today I've got some time for my Arch Linux. Thomas, your hint does the job. Parallel to your reply I found ifconfig eth0 up netcfg pppoe which does job too. Cheers! Ralf
