Please could you give us the error messages verbatim? (actually, see 
below) What is eth0 doing?

Hrm, this really is a demudi-specific question. It's possible that 
demudi doesn't have PPPoE supported properly for some reason. It's 
probably worth opening a ticket here: http://demudi.agnula.org/newticket 
if it works using vanilla Debian on the same hardware, then you may well 
have hit a bug. It doesn't look like you are doing anything 'wrong'.

Please come and hassle people on users at lists.agnula.org, you probably 
won't get a lot of interest in this problem here.
I'm really sorry to hear that this is still a problem, despite your best 
efforts to solve it.

cheers,
