It just occurred to me yesterday that the ppp_generic module was part of the kernel modules, not something that was shipped with the ppp package. Then I noticed that my kernel wasn't loading _any_ modules. Then I noticed that the kernel version didn't match the modules versions. Once I downloaded and installed a compatible set of kernel & modules, everything started making more sense. (I still need to take the rest of the steps of setting up ppp, but that I can handle... I think.) Thanks for the gentle push. FWIW, I had a vision of that the ppp module shipped with a kernel module that got compiled and installed as part of the post installation script. I started wondering how such things were accomplished in an Emdebian cross compiled world, and forgot to check my basic assumptions. Thanks for putting up with my rambling noise :-) --wpd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
