After successfully applying kernel-patch-mppe to kernel-source-2.6.11, I get a kernel panic when I try to use a pptp tunnel.
The ppp_mppe module loads successfully and the pptp connection starts, but then kernel panics.
I don't think this bug report tells you this, but I'm using the Sid branch of the AMD64 port.
Do you happen to have the OOPS from the panic? That would be most useful to understand the cause of the bug.
This is probably related to running in 64 bit, I'm not sure this patch was tested on any 64 bit platform before.

Hi Baruch,
I'd love to, but I'm afraid I'm not exactly sure how I can get it.
Should I just write down everything on the screen and then email that to you or does it actually get recorded in a log somewhere?
I'll happily write down as much as I can see on the screen if that will help.
If it didn't get saved to /var/log/syslog than it most likely scrolled off the screen anyway, at least some important parts of it.
The best is to setup a serial console to another machine, but if you are not already setup with it, it would be too much of a bother.
I don't have a setup of MPPE any more, so I can't try the solution myself, I'll try to cook some patch for you tomorrow. You can try to do it yourself by taking the patches for 2.6 kernels and:
sed -i -e 's/unsigned long/u32/' patchfile
Try to rebuild the kernel afterwards to see if it helps.
