set it up just like any other ppp link, just specify your eth interface instead of a modem. you also have to make sure you have a kernel that supports pppoe as well as the latest pppd (which supports pppoe). then just bring up the ppp line and all is happy. not sure if the default kernel/pppd on YDL support pppoe, i use my linux pc box to do my home firewall/routing and my powerbook/ydl for my real work. be sure you have iptables (or ipchains) set up to firewall for you or you'll have a lot of unwelcomed visitors.
