Just for you to know, seems that the pppoe-server -k passes the plugin 
/etc/ppp/rp-pppoe.so from the command line. That makes it impossible to 
override it from the /etc/ppp/pppoe-server-options file (r any other 
passed with the -O).

Some documentation says that the plugin for the server should be the one 
in /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.7 (or whatever the pppd version is) instead.

I checked, and there is a different plugin there. If I rename the one in 
/etc/ppp/plugins, and link to that other one from 
/etc/ppp/plugins/rp-pppoe.so, then the kernel-mode server works too.

I wonder if the plugins are different for client and server... If that 
is the case, then pppoe-server should either use the right one in place, 
or allow a way to be told which one to use.,

David.
