Hello, I am using kernel 2.2.17 with PPPoE and everything works fine. I am also using version 2.3 of the roaring penguin software. However, I never had kernel 2.2.15 installed, I had the default potato 2.2.17pre6 (everything worked with it as well) and then upgraded to 2.2.17. So unless there's a difference between 2.2.15 and 2.2.17 that you haven't accounted for (PPP module or some such) I have no clue as to what it's not working for you. BTW, I'm using Mindspring (aka Earthlink).
