A ping to the assigned IP address works. But I cannot get a PPPoE

I've got just Linux. The problem occurs after a warm boot as
it seems. When I do a power-down reset, then I don't get this
message, but I don't get a connection via PPPoE, either.

No, this did not help. I found an old EMail with the suggestion 
to add enable_wol=0, but this didn't help, either.

The problem came up this morning (12 hours ago). Before the it was 
working, AFAICT.
