Hi :)

The problem here is that the 'eth0' interface is not up when pppd is launched. This would be easily solved by running ip link set eth0 up before launching pppd, but netcfg doesn't know that. I always planned to write a 'pppoe' target for netcfg, but never did.
I can't think of a good workaround right now, maybe someone else has an idea.
There are different ways of doing things... I've used this (not for the purpose of wireless of course but instead the one stated in here): https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Netcfg#Execute_commands_before.2Fafter_... And it has worked... I've used as well with pppd instead of pppoe, similar to: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PPPoE_Setup_with_pppd but using netcfg. At this moment I can't share any config though... -- Javier.
