I hit this because I hadn't included async PPP support in
my kernel. (It's the same as for normal modem PPP)
There's a kernel-mode pppoe driver, but I don't think Debian's
packages are set up to use it. The method we're using involves
the pppoe program looking like a serial line to pppd, hence
the need for the Async PPP driver in the kernel (or as a
module)
