Here is what I have in my /etc/network/interfaces file.

auto eth0
        iface eth0 inet manual
        up ifconfig $IFACE 0.0.0.0 up
        down ifconfig $IFACE down


iface dsl-provider inet ppp
     provider dsl-provider
# please do not modify the following line
     pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf
