Hello linux ppp users,
I have a slackware distribution and run kernel 2.0.0, libc5 and use kerneld to
autoload modules with module version control enabled. Up to now I ran pppd
2.2.0 without problems. To gain acces to a more recent version i downloaded the
latest 2.3.4. version. According to the README.linux file it should work for a
2.0.0 kernel. During compilation I had 2 errors which I managed to solve but
maybe not enough:
1. linux/drivers/net/ppp.c
the kernel version is checked against version 2.1.68 and if lower than that
the fion dev_kfree_skb is run without the FREE_WRITE argument.
My previous ppp.c had this argument so I had to re-enable it -> compiled OK>
2. the module isdn_ppp wouldn't compile because the #define SC_ENABLE_IP was
no longer present in if_ppp.h. I copied it back in from if_ppp.old.h and it
compiled OK.
The PROBLEM I have now is that when I "insmod ppp" there is a version
clash between module and kernel version allthough they both show version 2.0.0
in the error message! I checked if "genksyms" ran when compiling and it did
since there is a ppp.ver file.
The QUESTION is : what can I do to adapt the ppp version?
Maybe I should upgrade my kernel to version 2.0.33, a move I was never too keen
on since I installed quite a few patches over the 2.0.0.
Any sound solutions much apreciated,
TIA
Guy.
