MLPPP / multilink not detected?

[li...@gradstein.info]

Hello,
I'm trying to use the multilink feature of PPP (by bonding two links) on a Linux Ubuntu (Oneiric). I followed the instructions by adding a 'multilink' (also tried 'mp' but looks the same) to my provider scripts in /etc/ppp/peers/myprovider1:

multilink
plugin rp-pppoe.so
rp_pppoe_service
'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
# network interface
eth0
user ""
noipdefault
nodefaultroute
usepeerdns
persist
noreplacedefaultroute
hide-password
noauth

But When I launch the connection ("ifup myprovider"), I don't see ANYTHING (debug activated) related to multilink. No 'New bundle' message. The connection goes OK, creating a ppp0, that's all (not a single error message). It's as if my provider (which is supporting multilink) ignored the multilink request, if that's even possible? Why can't I get a bundle message? How can I debug this?
Here is the output of the debug messages:
