pppoe and kernel 2.4.x

[Frodo Baggins <thehobbit@altern.org>]

Hi debianers,
  well, I have a debian system connected to a ISP using
pppoe. Everithing works well with the 2.2.x kernels, but for different
reasons, I need to install a 2.4.x kernel. 

  Reading the file /usr/doc/pppoe/KERNEL-MODE-PPPOE I understand that
I must recompile ppp from the tar-ball at
http://www.shoshin.uwaterloo.ca/~mostrows/ which is a patched ppp,
install it and then compiling rp-pppoe enabling plugins.

  This look strightforward but will obviously clash with the package
structure of my machine. Just for one, intrusion-detection tools
(e.g. tiger) will complain about unmatching cecksums. For another,
updating will become painful. 

  Is there another, more debian conformant, way to do it? 

  Thanks a lot
