I have never needed to do anything special to get the PPP module to load,
either with the precompiled kernels, or kernels I've compiled from source.
The module gets loaded as required.
It sounds like you've built your own kernel, but your new modules aren't
being found ? Or you've upgraded from another version of Linux, and *not*
reformatted your / partition, and old modules directories are being used ?
Search the mailing list archives listed at www.linux-mandrake.com (for
example http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ) for
Mandrake specific issues when recompiling the kernel. I find it useful to
edit the 4th line of the Makefile to change the kernel tag string, and then
your modules will go in to a different directory to the existing modules.
