If you are using RASPPPOE (excellent PPPOE software), an update was released few days ago.

RASPPPOE Version 0.96 has been released and offers the following improvements over RASPPPOE Version 0.95:
?h Intel Itanium 64-bit CPU support. This version of RASPPPOE is also available as a separate 64-bit release for Intel Itanium machines. NOTE: This release has never been tested due to lack of a test machine, so I don't know if this even works... =8^)
?h 3Com proprietary PPPoE support. Users with 3Com modems can download this patch to make RASPPPOE compatible with 3Com's proprietary PPP over Ethernet flavor.
?h Improved compatibility with service providers who are not fully RFC 2516 compliant. RASPPPOE now no longer insists on the first offered Service Name matching the requested name if no specific name has been requested. Users who had to put their service provider's name into the phone number field of their dial-up connection to be able to connect will no longer have to do so.
?h Improved connection stability to prevent unwanted disconnects. The watchdog timer that guards over established connections will now send up to three LCP Echo-Requests before determining that the connection has been lost. Connection loss will now be detected within 40 to 50 seconds.
?h A small fix in the packet receive handler to ensure all packets are properly returned to the network card driver.
