Weird PPPoE behavior

I use a DSL modem which bridges traffic to the Sophos. The Sophos has a PPPoE interface and builds up the connection.

Yesterday I upgraded from a Sophos SG 105 to a 135, since then the PPPoE connections doesn't work anymore. I see many failed tries in the pppoe.log.

The weird thing: when I start using tcpdump on the ethernet interface, I can see traffic and the pppoe negotiation gets successful. I've noticed this behavior many times.

Any ideas on this?

OK, some progress: the problem seems to be fixed when I set the WAN interface into promiscuous mode...
