Kevin> what am I missing?!?!?!?
You didn't tell us what you were selecting for PPP in "make xconfig". If I am
not mistaken, you need modules. I always use them where I can, and they work
great for me. I select:
#
# Network device support
#
CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y
CONFIG_DUMMY=m
# CONFIG_EQUALIZER is not set
# CONFIG_DLCI is not set
CONFIG_PLIP=m
CONFIG_PPP=m
#
# CCP compressors for PPP are only built as modules.
#
CONFIG_SLIP=m
CONFIG_SLIP_COMPRESSED=y
CONFIG_SLIP_SMART=y
and
#
# Character devices
#
CONFIG_SERIAL=m
which, using kerneld with the "auto" option in /etc/modules, and "alias dummy0
dummy" in /etc/conf.modules gives:
miles:~ [root] # lsmod
Module: #pages: Used by:
ppp 5 1 (autoclean)
dummy0 1 1 (autoclean)
slip 2 2 (autoclean)
slhc 2 [ppp slip] 3 (autoclean)
serial 7 4 (autoclean)
(Ppp is used to the ISP, and slip is loaded as I also use cslip over a
null-modem cable as an el-cheapo network to a laptop running Debian).
