I'm not sure what exactly caused this breakage, since not really all that much changed between -r14 and -r15. Nonetheless, if I upgrade to any ebuild beyond -r14 pppd breaks in subtle ways. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install net-dialup/ppp-2.4.4-r14 2. Start net.ppp0 and observe internet connectivity 3. Install net-dialup/ppp-2.4.4-r15 or net-dialup/ppp-2.4.4-r21 4. Start net.ppp0 and observe ppp breakage I had to install the old ebuilds from an outdated laptop in an overlay as they have been deleted from the current Gentoo overlay. Actual Results: Internet breaks. Expected Results: Internet works. I'll update this bug with more specific error messages as I continue testing. I opened a bug on this exact issue before, but the pppd maintainers closed it. I didn't have the time to debug at that time, but now I do.
Here is the relevant section from /etc/conf.d/net. Note that this configuration DOES work with pppd-2.4.4-r14. ppp0 defines a connection to t-mobile's 3G network over a bluetooth serial device. The serial device that is bound to rfcomm0 is my cellular phone. Yes, the username/pass combination is in fact guest/guest. config_ppp0=( "ppp" ) link_ppp0="/dev/rfcomm0" pppd_ppp0=( "230400" "updetach" "noipdefault" "defaultroute" "usepeerdns" ) phone_number_ppp0=( "*99***1#" ) chat_ppp0=( 'ABORT' 'ERROR' 'ABORT' 'NO ANSWER' 'ABORT' 'NO CARRIER' 'TIMEOUT' '5' '' 'ATZ' 'OK' 'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet3.voicestream.com","0.0.0.0",1,1' 'OK' 'ATDT\T' 'TIMEOUT' '60' 'CONNECT' '' ) username_ppp0="guest" password_ppp0="guest"

Subtle or not, I need to see what exactly is broken in your setup. Add "debug" to pppd_ppp0 and post here the resulted logs.
