Yeah, I upgraded to rp-pppoe-3.8 yesterday. I had to change my /etc/conf.d/net file to look like this: config_eth0=( "adsl" ) adsl_user_eth0="username" Here's where I found the relevant information: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=4&chap=3#doc_chap4 Gentoo does use rp-pppoe to connect. It just does it when bringing up eth0 directly. HTH, Mrugesh
