Yes, it should be PPPoE if RP is involved.

Use ifconfig. The output below shows it's up, but there is an alias
attached to it and I don't know what's that's about.

Doesn't make any difference what the IP address for eth1 is, or even
if eth1 has one, if that's the Ethernet interface for your PPPoE ADSL.
According to the output below it doesn't have an IP address.

First find out why there is no PPP interface in the ifconfig output.
It must exist for PPPoE to work. The eth0 interface simply carries the
PPPoE frame that contains the PPP payload to the ISP, using the NIC
Ethernet addresses for the ISP AC and for you. Only the PPP interface
needs IP addresses.

I can't provide any help with Mandrake-specific network configuration
scripts/programs.
