There is a problem with the dynamic loading of kernel modules, especially
when some dependent modules are in the kernel and some are not.  I've been
told this is in the process of being fixed.

To use PPPoE without problems, make sure you've got these lines in your
kernel config:

options NETGRAPH
options NETGRAPH_SOCKET
options NETGRAPH_ETHER
options NETGRAPH_PPPOE
