"dlpromisconreq" is part of the OpenSolaris libraries. I checked rp-pppoe
from http://www.roaringpenguin.com/penguin/openSourceProducts/rpPppoe and I
see that the function is available in if.c
The function is defined as static meaning it is available only for the same
compilation unit. Remove the static keyword from declaration and definition
of the function in if.c and try to rebuild. This should solve the build
error.

Configuring for the net will get covered in this weekends bosug meeting.
