Shuffle sysctls a bit (thankyou whoever made them dynamic for modules)

and add a sysctl to pppoe to activate non standard ethertypes
so that idiot ISPs (apparently in France) who use
equipment from idiot suppliers (rumour says 3com)
who use nonstandard ethertypes can still connect.

 "yep, sure we do pppoe, we use a different identifier to that dictated in
 the standard, but sure it's pppoe!"

sysctl -w net.graph.stupid_isp=1 enables the changeover.

+.Sh SYSCTLs
+If you are one of the unfortunate people who have an ISP that
+uses some "pppoe" equipment from (I believe) 3com, and who have to 
+use a different ethertype on pppoe packets
+(hey why not change it from the standard for 
+no reason?) then after you have kldloaded or compiled in your pppoe node,
+you may have to do the following sysctl:
+.Bd -literal
+(kldload netgraph)
+(kldload ng_pppoe)
+sysctl -w net.graph.stupid_isp=1
+.Ed

+to enable the alternate ethertypes. Then phone your ISP and ask them 
+why you need to set option "stupid_isp" for you to be able to connect.
