oh, I understand.
thank you for noting this.
So, it's as if you are getting a PPPoE message for someone else, and when
that happens, the interface is dying.
Is it always the same ethernet address?

Do you have ebtables?  Could you arrange to filter out packets like that?
That would point to there being some kernel bug.

Clearly, your ISP has some other bug that they are sending stuff down the
wrong pipe, but that could just be hash collisions that they assume are
"harmless".
