+Recognized pppd's PPPoE options are:
+.TP
+.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
+by specifying ppp'd option \fBnic-eth0\fR. Prefix \fBnic-\fR for this
+option may be avoided if interface name is unambiguous and does not
+look like any other pppd's option.
