Broadcom 440x 10/100 ethernet card
ZTE-ZXA10-F660 fiber optic PON
I've been using Puppy for a few years and haven't had any real problems in the past with my ethernet/PPPOE connection. I have Puppy (frugal?) installed in a Windows partition a la Lin'n'Win. Although I can set up PPPOE with Roaring Penguin, I can no longer reach any web pages when I use Puppy.
I also have LinuxMint 14 installed on the same laptop in an ext4 partition and am on the internet all day long with the same ethernet card and PON. Every live CD/DVD I've ever tried with this laptop/ethernet card/PON lets me access web pages without any problems.
Maybe this stuff run under Puppy will help:
