Thank you Thomas :)

so the easiest way for me seems to install a DE with a GUI network manager. IIUC 'pacman -U' would be the way to install downloaded packages.

You could first try this: ip link set eth0 up netcfg pppoe This should work. As Javier pointed out below, you can put the 'ip' command into a PRE_UP statement in your netcfg profile.
