Do you have a default route listed in /etc/network/interfaces (using
the 'gateway' keyword)? If so, take it out. I am presuming, of
course, that your ethernet card no longer provides a default route at
any time.
As I recall, the ppp scripts will not add a default route if one
already exists. This is the case with a Sarge laptop I work with when
I use wvdial to dial into a network.
Good luck.
Cheers!
