pppoe-start:There already seems to be a PPPoE connection up (PID 5424)

I did a fresh install. After base install. I did pacman -Syu. All done well. Then I did pacman -S kde. After succesfull installation of kde packages, I did pacman -S sudo hwd xorg xterm xorg-twm gpm. I succesfuly login into KDE destop. Then I did reboot. After loging into KDE desktop I try pppoe-start. It goes ..... nothing. Try it again. Then it says "pppoe-start:There already seems to be a PPPoE connection up (PID xxxx)". This is first time that I cannot normaly connect to internet within KDE DE.It is the same situation in console. I try fresh install with XFCE as main desktop env. There I don't have that problem.Is something broken with KDE packages or something?

Just a guess but for peops that ran into that problem it isn't that much of a help (no offense).
When this occurs they may be not able to upgrade to the new stuff.
I suggest them to symlink libpcap.so.9.0.7 to libpcap.so.9.0.5
Then they have to be able to reconnect to upgrade and everything will be fine

Well that helped me so I thought I could share it

I try fresh install with XFCE as main desktop env. There I don't have that problem.Is something broken with KDE packages or something?

I answer to question
I solve this with : pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libpcap-0.9.5-1*
No offense

Yeah.If you have saved somewhere libcap-0.9.5-1 in cache.:)
I have mounted Archlinux 2007.5 CD.And installed libcap-1.10-2 from CD. That solved connection.:D
Upgrading-downgrading.Rolling or not, if ain't broke don't fix it.:D

Stupid me. I blame desktop enviroments.I have some issues with them.But this bug is not related to them.
Thank you guys for pointing the correct solution.
