This is how I did ppp-2.3.5 and linux-2.0.36 on RH5.2
1. cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/; mv ppp.c ppp.c.orig
2. cd /tmp/ppp-2.3.5/; ./configure; make kernel
(note that now make kernal will report ppp.c transferred also)
3. modify /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/ppp.c by changing the if/else block
(starting from line 3079) from
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < VERSION(2,1,86)
#define FREE_SKB(skb) dev _kfree_skb(skb)
.....
...
#endif
to just #define FREE_SKB(skb) dev_kfree_skg (skb, FREE_WRITE)
4. compile your kernal and then ppp.
I don't know what the implications, but it works for me.
Good Luck.
cheers
