If you have such errors then, whatever the reason or kernel version, the
cure should be the same. With a pristine ppp-2.3.5 source tree, starting
at line 3079 in ppp-2.3.5/linux/ppp.c you have:
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < VERSION(2,1,86)
#define FREE_SKB(skb) dev_kfree_skb(skb)
#else
#define FREE_SKB(skb) dev_kfree_skb(skb, FREE_WRITE)
#endif
Change the "<" to ">=" . Then copy the modified file to the kernel
source directory /usr/src/linux/drivers/net, replacing the old ppp.c
there, and recompile the kernel. The cautious may want to save the
old kernel ppp.c first. (The exact change may be "<" to ">" but the
difference won't affect most folks.)
If the ppp-2.3.x version is other than ppp-2.3.5 or your particular
Linux distribution you use has chosen to modify the ppp.c code, you still
should be able to use this as a guide to find this code near line 3079.
