I'm having problems with missing kernel modules when I use pppd, so I hope
someone can help me out.
When I dial into our dial-in server at work I get the following in my
logfile :
Mar 19 22:05:49 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-21
Mar 19 22:05:49 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-26
Mar 19 22:05:49 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-24
Mar 19 22:05:52 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-21
Mar 19 22:05:52 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-26
Mar 19 22:05:52 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-24
Mar 19 22:05:53 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-21
Mar 19 22:05:53 localhost kernel: ppp_ioctl: set maxcid to 16
What exactly are those ppp-compress modules that pppd is requesting
through the kernel ? I don't have any such modules so it's fair enough
that modprobe is complaining. My problem though is that I don't know where
to get them / how to build them. - And does each number correspond to a
different compression protocol or what does the trailing numbers mean ?
The connection I end up with is dog-slow, so I'm suspecting that I don't
get any compression at all, which is really bad :-(
A somewhat similar problem occurs when I dial up to my private ISP. Only
here, I get
Mar 21 22:12:37 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp0:0
Mar 21 22:12:37 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp0:1
Mar 21 22:12:37 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp0:2
Mar 21 22:12:37 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp0:3
... <snip> ...
Mar 21 22:12:39 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp0:47
Mar 21 22:12:39 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp0:48
Mar 21 22:12:39 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp0:49
Again, I don't have a ppp0 module in /lib/modules, but I don't know how to
get one either :-( And I don't know what the number after the colon means ?
I'm using pppd v. 2.3.11 and kernel 2.2.14.
