No, because I don't know how to build the kernel modules, only the daemon. The makefile is incomplete, target "kernel" is commented out, and the script 'kinstall.sh' does not exist:
I saw references to to 2.2 and 2.4 kernels. I don't think the modules in the package was meant to work with a newer kernel, i.e.2.6. I did get the ppp 2.4.3 rpm built though.
That's possible... this is what the 'README.linux' file says: 2. Installation --------------- 2.1 Kernel driver Assuming you are running a recent 2.2 or 2.4 (or later) series kernel, the kernel source code will contain an up-to-date kernel PPP driver. If the PPP driver was included in your kernel configuration when your kernel was built, then you only need to install the user-level programs. Otherwise you will need to get the source tree for your kernel version, configure it with PPP included, and recompile. Most Linux distribution vendors ship kernels with PPP included in the configuration.
I'd be more interested to know how you built the kernel modules :-) The kernel modules are a part of the kernel tree. Right now I am running a patched 2.6.10 kernel.org kernel. If you think it is the kernel modules, I would suggest getting a generic kernel, compile it and add it to your menu and try it. Or, since you may already have the kernel sources installed, you could maybe do some diff checks in /usr/src/linux/drivers/net of the kernel that doesn't work and the older one that does.
I'll have a look.
P.S.: Your mail server doesn't like me.

Ok, but then it makes me very dificult to answer you off list (your previous email was off-list). -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
