I already did. The only packets coming over the link are some request
packets from RASPPPOE on the windoze client

jmmr# tcpdump -ev -i ath0
tcpdump: listening on ath0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes
00:32:17.972907 00:0a:e9:02:56:bf > Broadcast, ethertype PPPoE D (0x8863), length 44: PPPoE PADI [Service-Name] [Host-Uniq 0x5253504500000000D06F2038BA33C401]
[repeated 6 times]

00:0a:e9:02:56:bf is the MAC address of the client. There is no
response whatsoever from the PPPoE server. 

I hope this means I can rule out configuration errors?

Btw, pppoed loads ng_pppoe the first time it is started, and refuses
to load the second time because of "kldload: ng_pppoe: File
exists". So I unload it and try again... strange.
