Well, start with ifconfig of the interface then give a recipe for how to 
reproduce it.  "PPoE on ath does not receive any requests" doesn't mean 
a whole lot to me; are packets being received?  If you run tcpdump on 
the interface to you see the expected traffic?  Have you examined the 
statistics reported by 80211stats to see if frames are being discarded 
for some reason?

I do not use PPoE and probably cannot recreate your setup so you need to 
provide sufficient information for me to diagnose the problem.
