I was one of the people having trouble with Intel
EtherExpress NICs.
The wise ones of the list suggested to me this format
to use in
/etc/modules:
(module name) -o (alias) (options to pass to module)
Kim, if I'm understanding your post correctly one of
your modules is
ppp_mppe and the alias you want to establish for it
is ppp-compress-18.
If this is true then the entries you should use
in /etc/modules are:
ppp_mppe -o ppp-compress-18
bsd_comp -o ppp-compress-21
ppp_deflate -o ppp-compress-24
ppp_deflate -o ppp-compress-26
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
