No, we need to initate session negotiation with the proper frame type. So
it will require more parameters to pppoectl (where you would set your
account info anyway, so that's not a big problem, if the documentation
points you to it).

I agree that having to recompile the kernel before getting the internet
connection up is bad. But then I don't like to bloat ether_input (even if
only in the default: case instead of dropping packets) by stuff noone ever
realy uses.
