xl2tpd supports the pppol2tp kernel mode operations on 2.6.23 or higher,
or via a patch in contrib for 2.4.x kernels. Note that kernel mode and
IPsec SA Reference tracking do not yet work together.

I have checked on Lenny, and the pppol2tp.ko module is part of the
kernel.  Therefore, I am closing this report.

Roberto,
I think the point that rektide was getting at was that 
xl2tpd isnt built with the USE_KERNEL option anymore

which causes this message to show in the the logs

xl2tpd[]: This binary does not support kernel L2TP.

this means that regardless of kernel support you cant use the pppol2tp module
Enabling the USE_KERNEL option might be a bad idea though since it causes xl2tpd to use it by default unless forsceuserspace=yes is set in the xl2tpd config file
this may have been the problem in bug 494795 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=494795

his kernel probably was compiled without CONFIG_PPPOL2TP...
but since debian based kernels are compiled with CONFIG_PPPOL2TP as a module i dont think it should cause too many issues if we enable it...
It was enabled in v1.2.0 and earlier (maybe from v1.1.07 or v1.1.06 ??) by default and was then quietly changed upstream to be disabled by default in v1.2.1 


From Changelog


* Changed some build defaults in Makefile [paul]
Im unsure of the reasons why the default was changed... but it may have had something to do with sareference tracking compatibility... 

Thoughts? Solutions?
