When I execute 'insmod ppp' I recieve the errors: '/lib/modules/2.0.36/net/ppp.o: unresolved symbol slhc_init' '/lib/modules/2.0.36/net/ppp.o: unresolved symbol slhc_free' '/lib/modules/2.0.36/net/ppp.o: unresolved symbol slhc_uncompress' '/lib/modules/2.0.36/net/ppp.o: unresolved symbol slhc_toss' '/lib/modules/2.0.36/net/ppp.o: unresolved symbol slhc_remember' '/lib/modules/2.0.36/net/ppp.o: unresolved symbol slhc_compress'
What does this mean? I beleive that I compiled the kernel with PPP support, if I didn't how do I specify that?
