        src/sys/net: if_pppoe.c

Log Message:
When upper layer asks us to re-establish a connection, don't do so
synchronously, but insert a (varying) delay. Before we have only been
decoupled from the peer via network latency - now we introduce some
explicit delay. This, at least, creates batter serialized debug output.

However, if we have to reconnect because of an authentication failure,
the peer may have just been unable to access it's radius server. (I have
a setup where this seems to happen every now and then, depending on time
of day.) Backoff reconnect in this cases seriously longer - this is better
than hitting the max-auth-failure limit within a few seconds.
