Nick and All,
I am a bit confused as to what I do to patch the kernel for pppoed. I tried to patch the 2.2.13 kernel with the 2.2.12 patch and it indicated parts of the patch were already there.
Are you patching against the SuSE kernel src or a virgin src? The SuSE kernel may already have the patches applied. OTOH The impression I was given was to repatch with each new version of Jamal's client. Just in case. patch -r should remove the old patches.
Am I to assume the 2.2.13 kernel has support for pppoed in the source tree?
SuSE's may. The tarball straight from Linus doesn't. 2.4 may.
If I run xconfig should I see a pppoed option in the GUI?
From make menuconfig [my firewall is way to old to handle X well-)] under network devices I see tty support for PPP over X. I needed to build it into the kernel [no module] even though the readme claims modules are now supported. Thats with 2.2.14 and Jamal's 0.44. There are newer releases from Jamal but the system has been stable since I built 0.44 so I'm not changing until I need to.
So this is where I am probably confused, the last time I compiled my kernel I said no to PPP over X because I didn't know what it was. I thought it had to do with X but I guess X just means PPP over anything? If I get this option in make config that means my kernel source has been patched, right? I'm currently using the PacBell supplied client.
