Hi Dirk, 

Problem solved, just an update for readers.

Thank you for your help, I did have the above set up properly, and had the following \
modules and packages:-

Pppoe:
Kernel:
FWRT_PACKAGE_KMOD_PPP=y
FWRT_PACKAGE_KMOD_PPPOE=y

Packages--> Networking
FWRT_PACKAGE_PPP=y
FWRT_PACKAGE_PPP_MOD_PPPOE=y


However I had also selected the package
 pppoe-client...................... PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) client

which was stopping pppoe working for some reason. Removing this package fixed \
everything and the unit reliably connects to my ISP now.
