I too am having the same problem of the PPPOE connection dying within a few seconds in the release candidate of dapper. I have tried to follow the thread above, but I am new to Linux and Ubuntu and hence am not sure about what I need to look for, where to look for it and then what to do about it. I think I understand the the problem is to do with the loadable kernal module (device driver) that might have been automatically selected for my network adapter in my laptop? I would also like to learn by solving this problem. Can you help me through the steps of finding the source of the problem and fixing it?
Mark,
