Error MAC Header Length

I have SusE Linux 8.1 with a DSL and a ISDN connection , configured by YAST. This connections works fine. Now, I will use VPN-Client 4.0 from Cisco on this connections.
ISDN make no problems, but with DSL I get in /var/log/messages immediately after the vpn connect command the following error: "kernel: unknown mac header length (22)"

Decreasing from the MTU Value will not solve this problem. I think the pppoe can't handle the longer MAC header with the VPN data.

How can i resolve this problem?

Thank you for your help in advance
Michael Beppler
