Thank you for your reply.  
I think comment statement in /etc/defaults/rc.conf should be changed
because the current comment means '-l'.  Otherwise we should change
/etc/rc.network.   Don't you think so?

-------------- /etc/defaults/rc.conf ----------
 pppoed_provider="service-pppoe"	# Provider and ppp(8) config file entry.
