8 Yeah, this doesn't have any configuration for your ppp0 device. Please
9 read /etc/conf.d/net.example for how to properly configure your pppoe
10 connection using the new baselayout.

18 $IFACE stands in for the interface (IFACE) name. E.g. lo, eth0, or ppp0.

20 On my computer:
21 $ ls /etc/init.d/net.* -l
22 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Aug 27 01:17 /etc/init.d/net.br0 -> net.lo
23 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Sep 15 21:17 /etc/init.d/net.eth0 -> net.lo
24 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Aug 2 02:11 /etc/init.d/net.eth1 -> net.lo
25 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30341 Sep 15 23:00 /etc/init.d/net.lo

27 I belive you'll need to have a net.eth0 that is a symlink to net.lo as well
28 as a net.ppp0 that is a symlink to net.lo.

30 Before we go any further, what version of baselayout are you using?
