@demm Dearest Anke,
My router is showing signs of old age and I'm in the process of building one that will be vastly superior to anything commercially available. Also, my ISP is using the pppoe protocol in conjunction with Gib fiber. Despite widespread misconception, pppoe has nothing to do with dial-up but I digress. I noticed that rp-pppoe userland driver is present in the ISO and tried to connect directly to the internet but failed. I'm kinda baffled because I can successfully connect in other distributions that also have rp-pppoe included in the ISO.
