Subject: [ale] PPPulling my hair out

Speedfactory switched over to PPPoE today. So, I installed rp-pppoe and did
all of the setup. It took a few recompiles of the kernel to enable
everything. But now, I get errors every time I try to connect in Linux. 
I have tried altering my config to both:

SYNCHRONOUS=yes

and:

SYNCHRONOUS=no

With synchronous set to yes, I get this in my logs:

Dec  4 19:45:51 localhost pppd[1101]: pppd 2.4.2 started by root, uid 0 Dec
4 19:45:51 localhost pppd[1101]: Using interface ppp0 Dec  4 19:45:51

localhost pppoe[1104]: Unable to set line discipline to N_HDLC.  Make sure
your kernel supports the N_HDLC line discipline, or do not use the
SYNCHRONOUS option.  Quitting.

pppd[1101]: Connection terminated.
Dec  4 19:45:51 localhost pppd[1101]: Exit.

With synchronous set to no, I get this in my logs:

55:06 localhost adsl-connect: ADSL connection lost; attempting
re-connection.
Dec  4 19:55:11 localhost pppd[1575]: pppd 2.4.2 started by root, uid 0 Dec

Dec  4 19:55:11 localhost pppd[1575]: Exit.

Following the first set of errors, I tried to enable HDLC in the kernel
(2.6.7). I couldn't find that option anywhere. So, I'm at a loss.

Any ideas?
