Re: PPP where for out thou?
When I execute 'insmod ppp' I recieve the errors:
'/lib/modules/2.0.36/net/ppp.o: unresolved symbol slhc_init'
'/lib/modules/2.0.36/net/ppp.o: unresolved symbol slhc_free'
'/lib/modules/2.0.36/net/ppp.o: unresolved symbol slhc_uncompress'
'/lib/modules/2.0.36/net/ppp.o: unresolved symbol slhc_toss'
'/lib/modules/2.0.36/net/ppp.o: unresolved symbol slhc_remember'
'/lib/modules/2.0.36/net/ppp.o: unresolved symbol slhc_compress'
What does this mean? I beleive that I compiled the kernel with PPP
support, if I didn't how do I specify that?
THANK, Andy
