========Description:============
pppoe-start is unable to connect to the internet or ping google.com while network daemon is running.


========Additional info:========
[rp-pppoe 3.10-7]

========Files affected:========
/etc/rc.conf

=========Files unaffected but used by [rp-pppoe] to store settings========
/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf


========Steps to reproduce:========
1] Enable the "network" daemon in rc.conf.
2] Configure rp-pppoe with your ISP settings.
3] Start pppoe using "pppoe-start" command.
4] After connecting, ping google.com and the ping request will cease to work or it will try pinging via 192.168.1.1 and halt without ping replies.
5] stop pppoe by issuing "pppoe-stop" command.

========Possible Workaround:========
1] Remove "network" daemon from /etc/rc.conf
2] Stop the daemon if running/restart the computer.
3] Issue the "pppoe-start" command to start PPPOE
4] After connecting, ping google.com and it should ping back.

# How long pppoe-start waits for a new PPP interface to appear before
# concluding something went wrong. If you use 0, then pppoe-start
# exits immediately with a successful status and does not wait for the
# link to come up. Time is in seconds.

# WARNING WARNING WARNING:
#
# If you are using rp-pppoe on a physically-inaccessible host, set
# CONNECT_TIMEOUT to 0. This makes SURE that the machine keeps trying
# to connect forever after pppoe-start is called. Otherwise, it will
# give out after CONNECT_TIMEOUT seconds and will not attempt to
# connect again, making it impossible to reach.

# Do you want to clamp the MSS? Here's how to decide:
# - If you have only a SINGLE computer connected to the DSL modem, choose
