I have now set the line length to 80, because the output of some routines would
be too difficult to read with a length of 72 without editing.

Hm. My persistent-net.rules still exists, has not changed and the new method of
naming network interfaces should be disabled by default.

I do not use a router. I need pppoe for the ADSL-Modem required by my ISP. On my
old Gentoo, which i am now using and which has the same configuration, i get

hafi@i5 ~ $ route
Kernel IP routing table

The configuration is done in /etc/conf.d/net, which i have posted above. In
syslog of the defunct Gentoo i find regarding ppp:

On the currently used old Gentoo syslog says:
