I've been trying to install ppp and have not had any success. I have
edited the ppp-on script to my situation (phone numbers all that stuff).
I then placed ppp-on in /sbin. Upon running ppp-on, I am receiving an
error which says :
Sorry - this system lacks PPP kernel support
I had recompiled the kernel prior to this. Once I got this message, I
tried recompiling the kernel with different options. After several more
recompilations, I decided to get help. When recompiling the kernel, my
.config file had the following options:
CONFIG_INET=y
CONFIG_PPP=y
CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y
CONFIG_SERIAL=y
Is there something that I am missing? What could cause this conflict?
Thank you.
