It happens both with ppp(oe) as well as with ethernet, but the above message
originate son the ppp interface.
In any case, the ethtool output for eth1 (which is used by the pppoe
connection):
Offload parameters for eth1:
Cannot get device tcp segmentation offload settings: Operation not supported
rx-checksumming: on
tx-checksumming: on
scatter-gather: on
tcp segmentation offload: off

It's also a 64-bit-only problem. To verify, I tried this:
ethtool -K eth1 rx off tx off sg off
Where eth1 is the interface where pppoe runs over.
ethtool -k eth1 then displayed:
rx-checksumming: off
tx-checksumming: off
scatter-gather: off
tcp segmentation offload: off
And ICMP, TCP etc. starts working again.
Thanks for the analysis and the hint, I guess that verifies that its hw
checksumming. (Weird that hw checksumming on the underlying device somehow
changes the ppp packets, but nevertheless).
If I can be of further assistance in tracking down this problem, please
rely on me. I can easily live with hw checksumming switched off on that
if, though.
