PPPoE = PPP (point to point protocol) over ethernet. This puts PPP packets
into ethernet frame (layer 2).

PF is a packet filter and works at layer 3 (IP) and 4 (TCP, UDP, ...). It
doesn't operate at layer 2.

I think you get the picture. That's why PF is unable to filter AppleTalk,
IPX, ... either.
