[RP-PPPoE] Fix for kernel-mode PPPoE compilation (was Re: some PPPoe advice would be appreciated.)

[Stephan Viljoen]

Hi Adrian,

After scratching around for quite a bit I think I've finally managed
to get the kernal mode option to activate but in the process most
likely destroyed something else.

The -k option now shows when using the -h switch.
[root at ppp plugins]# pppoe-server -h
Usage: pppoe-server [options]
Options:
   -k             -- Use kernel-mode PPPoE.

However , I'm getting the following errors now.  Any pointers ?

Failed to connect PPPoE socket: 19 No such device

Here's the full log file output for a failed connection.
