Thank you scott, I already set up queuing fC<r pppoe0 in original pf.conf but
removed everything for testing.
I think my CPU is way too slow to be able to handle the GigE link and the
filter. Aren't there any tweaks for pf.conf/sysctl?
I think I will switch back to a dual 100baseTX card since I don't really need
the extra speed and will try to get a new lowpower machine until summer...
