Re: [TCLUG:16715] kernel 2.3.99pre5 crash and ppp

["Thomas T. Veldhouse" <veldy@visi.com>]

You need to recompile pppd against the new kernel.  I don't know if the
newest version of pppd supports linux-2.3.x or not.  If it does, download it
(see kernel CHANGES file) and do the following:

./configure
make kernel
cd /usr/src
make dep bzlilo modules modules install clean
cd <ppp dir>
make
make install
reboot
