-dedicated isn't a good option for PPPoE as it attempts to keep the
device open all the time. Use -ddial instead if you want a 24/7
connection.
-dedicated is intended for things like dedicated serial links or
(soon thanks to hm) dedicated isdn on-demand links.

You can probably ignore these, but they indicate that there may be a
problem with the way the PPPoE module is trimming the packets - looks
like it might be chopping a bit too much off the end. If you enable
physical logging, it may be apparent whether the packet is truncated
or is meant to be 4 bytes.
