This usually happens when the ppp support hasnt been compiled into the
kernel.
cd /usr/src/linux, and run make xconfig/menuconfig to add the support, then
recompile.

Subject: ppp & kernel 2.3.26
Hi,
I am new here so I do not know what is going on. I have a small problem,
maybe
someone could help me out. I would like to connect to the internet with
kernel
2.2.13 as well as 2.3.26. So I wrote this in /etc/modules.conf:
if `kernelversion` = 2.3
alias char-major-108 ppp_generic
alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async
alias ppp0 ppp_generic
alias ppp1 ppp_generic
alias char-major-180 mouse
endif
if `kernelversion` = 2.2
alias char-major-108 ppp
alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp
alias ppp0 ppp
alias ppp1 ppp
endif
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate
It works fine for 2.2.13. When I use 2.3.26 I get "kernel lacks ppp
support".
If I insert the modules ppp_generic & ppp_async manually everything works
fine.
Oh yeah, some more info:
I have:
/dev/ppp (required for 2.3 kernel)
working slhc modules
pppd 2.3.10
modutils 2.3.6 with depmod at every startup
I hope someone can help me,
Greetings Menno
