when compiling the Kernels 1.3.53 and 1.3.67 with PPP enabled, there
appeared some errors in ppp.c because it ended up in an endless loop
trying to include netinet/ip.h (in my /usr/include/netinet/ip.h,
there appears to be just the line "#include <netinet/ip.h>", not too
sensible, I think.
So I replaced the netinet/ip.h and netinet/tcp.h by linux/ip.h and
linux/tcp.h and got gcc 2.7.2 to compile the Kernels successfully.
Since I wasn't able to connect to my ISP using 1.2.11, I hoped that
1.3.67 would be able to do it. But when booting the new Kernel, there
isn't even a message from the PPP driver and no entry in /proc/net/devices,
consequently, pppd tells me that PPP isn't supported.
There is an entry like "DEFINE PPP_config=y" in the .config file
in my /usr/src/linux-1.3.67 directory.
What's gone wrong?
