OK, so I went ahead and recompiled the kernel using make-kpkg kernel_image

modconf seems to only show the options for my existing (installed) kernel, 
rather than the one I just compiled (that includes PPP support)

I have some external modules in my kernel already -- vmware and nvidia 
drivers.  I'd like to avoid installing a new kernel and hassling with getting 
the external modules in place again.

Is there a way to get the newly-compiled PPP kernel module into my existing 
kernel?
