Der Mouse's package runs in userland.  It copies all packets in/out 
of kernel space twice instead of once, and I think there is some 
encapsulation that gets done/undone/redone as well.  It reportedly 
worked at one time for him on NetBSD before he switched to a provider 
that did not use PPPoE.  It may depend on -current of the time though.
