Hi,
Has there been any thought to adding PPPOE support into the kernel?  I
expect the userland solutions (mouse-pppoe and rp-pppoe) will work fine,
but they seem to have a lot of unnecessary overhead (2 context switches, 2
packet buffer copies PER packet I believe).  I think that both FreeBSD
and Linux now have PPPOE support in the kernel.  

I'm willing to help out or try to implement it myself if its generaly
believe to be a good idea.

Thanks,
	Rick
