OK, although we can't rule out sky2/netfilter from the enquiry, I've
identified two bugs in ppp/pppoe that may be responsible for what you
are seeing. So please try the following patch and let us know if the
problem still exists (or deteriorates/improves).

[PPP]: Fixed hardware RX checksum handling

When we pull the PPP protocol off the skb, we forgot to update the
hardware RX checksum. This may lead to messages such as

dsl0: hw csum failure.

Similarly, we need to clear the hardware checksum flag when we use
the existing packet to store the decompressed result.
