Problem with PPPoE & ADSL conection

Hi People,

I installed Archlinux a few times, and 0 errors.
Recently, (Yesterday) i was installing Arch, and i can`t do the conection.

I have,
Ethernet Card
ADSL Modem Router   (No usb)    This modem not have the user name, password etc...

Steps>

1 Boot Arch {live cd}
2 Login Root
3 pppoe-setup   & complete the configuration
4 /etc/rc.d/adsl start

And... timed out!

5 ifconfig -a

and... only shows    eth0 &  lo   

ppp0 is missing!!!

and, i couldn`t continue....

This problem is in Archlinux only....
Debian, Crunchbang, Fedora.... the connection works!

someone can help me with this?
I read the wiki but, i couldn't get work.

Re: Problem with PPPoE & ADSL conection

I assume this is the article you had read.  If not, well, then give it a try.

I have not used PPP since I had a dial-up modem.  I think the one step you are missing is the kernel module.  You did not saw whether you had added ppp-generic to your modules array.  Check that the module is loaded with lsmod.

pppoe-start what you should use to start adsl connection. Or you can use networkmanager.

Yes, i read the wiki (pppoe setup with pppd)...
I never did the PPPoE conection with pppd... because, always worked aplying the steps that i have mentioned before.

Anyway, I tried the conection with pppd, and doesn't work.

Respect ppp-generic module...
I couldn't see the complete list  by lsmod... but, i used:   

modprobe ppp-generic

Also, (later) i used
modprobe pppoe 
modprobe pppox
in addition to ppp-generic

and the conection, not work.

i see the error.log :

it's a problem with the devices..... The system couldn't search the pppoe device.. in the eth0 interface...
if i run ifconfig -a..   Only shows, eth0 and lo       

In debian.... shows eth0  lo   and  ppp0           (but the configuration it's different.. it was made with pppoeconf)

i run dhcpcd.... but.. doesn't work...

In windows, the pppoe conection works.... but... with DHCP.. the system shows a popup with:
"No ip associated"  the connectivity is limited or null     (but, runs OK)

Inclusive, i push Reset button in my modem... and.. it continues as before

PD: I have only one ethernet card.... (no usb)
