I don't think it is pppd's responsibility to muck with modules. It is like mount kldloading a disk driver module. Neither program has any business guessing which module name goes with which device/feature. What if I want to run ppp over ethernet over atm? I know you can't do this today but in general the trend should be to make protocol modules more flexible not less. Hardwiring module names is analogous to making a function non-reentrant.
