ADSL doesn't necessarily require pppoe. It depends on how the ISP has configured their system. In my case, I was given a static IP and all I needed to do was configure networking to use this IP with my ISP's gateway and DNS. With dynamic IPs, I believe some use DHCP instead of pppoe. I don't think a 2.4 kernel is required (although it is a good idea in any case).
