+.SH PPPOE OPTIONS
+To establish PPP link over Ethernet (PPPoE) it is needed to load pppd's

+.B nic-\fIinterface
+Use the ethernet device \fIinterface\fR to communicate with the peer.
+For example, establishing PPPoE link on \fIeth0\fR interface is done

+option may be avoided if interface name is unambiguous and does not
+look like any other pppd's option.
