I don't know. I have to run PPPoE, and seems that that's just the way that
it's done. Here's my ifconfig setup:
poet:/home/rusty# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:05:02:83:0D:84
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
          RX packets:3446 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:3474 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          RX bytes:1052540 (1.0 MiB) TX bytes:234860 (229.3 KiB)
          Interrupt:42 Base address:0xf000

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1

Yes...I think PPPoE is the culprit. I'm afraid to ask earthlink (my isp) for
help, since I'm running Linux, and they want to sell their home networking
package (surprise)....
