PPP can be a pain. There's little support or even
interest. I went through a rough patch last summer.

autoload.d/modules. Dialup works but I still get ppp0

FWIW here's my /sys/class/net

There's no "driver" there either. The time is strange
too cause I booted and dialed out mebbe half an hour
before that. So I can't say what process wrote what
either.

I also recall not putting anything in /etc/conf.d/net
except a reference to an ethernet card I use to
connect to another pc.
