2.6.16-rc2 still misses your patch. Was there a special reason not to send it
to Linus?

Well, there are no problems if SuSEfirewall2 is disabled. But have a look
at the loaded modules:

ipt_MASQUERADE          3968  1
pppoe                  15360  2
pppox                   4616  1 pppoe

OK, although we can't rule out sky2/netfilter from the enquiry, I've
identified two bugs in ppp/pppoe that may be responsible for what you
are seeing.  So please try the following patch and let us know if the
problem still exists (or deteriorates/improves).

[PPP]: Fixed hardware RX checksum handling

When we pull the PPP protocol off the skb, we forgot to update the
hardware RX checksum.  This may lead to messages such as

	dsl0: hw csum failure.

Similarly, we need to clear the hardware checksum flag when we use
the existing packet to store the decompressed result.
