Can you provide more information about the problem, please? Are you 
using a simple DSL modem with PPPoE, such that the ppp0 interface is 
that of the pppd started by a local PPPoE server? Is this a problem only 
with packet capture or are you seeing actual data corruption? Did this 
work with previous kernels? What is the network topology related to the 
DSL interface?
