Take a look at /usr/src/linux/Documenattion/Changes. |
| 45 |
There are a few aliases in modules.conf required in order to get pppd |
| 46 |
working. |
| 47 |
Remember to copy modules.conf to /etc/modules/[kernelversion] because |
| 48 |
this file gets |
| 49 |
copied to /etc/modules.conf on boot. |
| 50 |
This behaviour will change in the next release. |
