rp-pppoe requires PF_PACKET (Re: Help with PPPoE)

[jfj <jfj@freemail.gr>]

Thanks for the confirmation (it is helpful!).

I found the problem and that is that rp-pppoe requires
PF_PACKET sockets, which are disabled on my kenrel.

I'd really like to avoid this. It seems rp-pppoe uses
packet sockets to get the inteface number. Anybody knows
if this can be avoided with a bit of hacking?

Otherwise, we should mention that Kernel PPPoE depends
on PF_PACKET :(
And improve the error mesages of rp-pppoe.
