   PPPoE is PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol - *dial-up*) over Ethernet. I   
   don't pretend to know WTF that's supposed to mean (I've always thought   
   of PPP and Ethernet to be mutually exclusive) but I do know that it   
   requires client software on your end. Check here - this includes a list   
   of ISPs that it is known to work with (as of 2001, hasn't been   
   updated...):   
       http://beospppoe.sourceforge.net/   
   (The link to download it is broken - go here to get it:)   
       http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=16291   
      
   BeBits has a driver that says it's designed for ADSL, but I don't   
   suppose it would hurt to try it:

   If neither of those work for you, just Google for it:
