firstly, to add a default route I use
# route add default gw <gateway-ip>
secondly, I think you have to make the _other_ end of the connection the
default route, not your end (ie, not your card, but the aDSL pppoe end)
There are pppoe tools to do this.

Did you try with a completely disabled firewall?

you should symlink it, not make a copy.  `ln -s`.

I think you need to make /etc/conf.d/net.w1ad to match.

I don't actually use pppoe, so I hope this helps you in some way.
