From pppoe.conf

# Do you want to use synchronous PPP?  "yes" or "no".  "yes" is much
# easier on CPU usage, but may not work for you.  It is safer to use
# "no", but you may want to experiment with "yes".  "yes" is generally
# safe on Linux machines with the n_hdlc line discipline; unsafe on others.
SYNCHRONOUS=no

On the Soekris it is taking quite some cpu cycles.

CONFIG_SERIAL_NONSTANDARD=y/m
CONFIG_N_HDLC=y/m
