I posted the same thing a few days gao, and there is a solution.
Here is a patch you have to apply to pppd-2.3.5/linux/ppp.c

If it doesn't apply properly, i.e. if it says that it failed to patch, all
you have to do is open ppp.c and change two lines.
The first one is the date, in the line where it say FILEVERSION. The
second change needs to be in Line 3079 (or around there), where it says:
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < VERSION(2,1,86)
change this to:
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE > VERSION(2,1,86)
^^^^^^^
notice the difference.
The do make kernel, and off you go.
This is to the group and the maintainers. Why is it, that everyone has to
find out the hard way. Is there a site were it points that problem out,
did I miss something.
