How is this wrong?  I've been running a firewall machine with PPPoE for some
time configured this way.  'options NETGRAPH' needs to be present, but any
component of netgraph that isn't statically linked in the kernel will be
loaded dynamically from the set of modules in /modules.

Furthermore, if you're missing a module, ppp should give you something like
"Warning: kldload: ng_ether: No such file or directory" and return you to a
ppp> prompt.
