My ISP (www.bethere.co.uk) has told me it's IPoEoA:

3) When configuring the WAN, member would get an option asking whether your
ISP authenticates with user/pass or not You have to choose no in there. 4)
Connection is IPoEoATM 5) Multiplexing is LLC-based. In case you can choose
the LLC type it should be SNAP. 6) Set the modem to work in DHCP mode b to
obtain IP from the ISP.

However, your query prompted me to look at their web site and, while I was
there, it seems my 20Mbps connection may be ADSL2+ which - I think -
doesn't work with ueagle anyway.  I think I'm shagged :(

No.  ueagle supports plain IPoA (with or without LLC encap) and PPPoA only.
It's more a limitation of the OS (netatm stack) than a limitation of the
driver though.  Are you sure your ISP really uses IPoEoA?
It is the first time I see this.
Does your modem synchronize at least? (just run ifconfig ueagle0 up)
