I have compiled 2.4.1 kernel with ppp (async) support but here's what
I get when running pon:
Mar 8 11:13:43 azar modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp0
and pppd fails to connect. I can conect when using 2.2.18something so
ppp scripts are fine.
here's the relevant part of /etc/modules.conf:
alias char-major-108 ppp_generic
alias /dev/ppp ppp_generic
alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async
alias tty-ldisc-14 ppp_synctty
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate
and here's the list of ppp* modules:
/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_generic.o
/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_async.o
/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_deflate.o
there's no ppp.o but there's also no ppp.c under kernel sources
(unlike in 2.2.x kernels), I guess ppp_generic takes place of ppp? but
the modules.conf quote above is same as the one supplied in kernel
source tree under Documentation/Changes, should I add something like
alias ppp ppp_generic? I thought the first alias (char-major-108) would
take care of that.
any ideas? TIA
