This article is flawed. They were unable to configure pppoe on OpenBSD and
didn't even know that FreeBSD does have a kernel pppoe implementation
(netgraph based).

Please read the discussion about this article on
http://www.deadly.org/article.php3?sid=20021201035049
http://daily.daemonnews.org/view_story.php3?story_id=3365

The bottom line is that performance is better if pppoe is implemented in
kernel. So porting the NetBSD implementation would be a good thing.
