I had some trouble providing an un-tainted version of this. Now I have set up a clean installation of openSuSE 10.2 in a VM and tested modprobe ppp_generic right after the installation (and prior to installing anything, e. g. VMware tools). So here is a part of the output of dmesg: (I put the complete output into a plain-text file I added as an attachment.) PPP generic driver version 2.4.2 kobject_add failed for ppp with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.
