I've just installed the new 2.2.2 kernel on top of RedHat 5.2 (2.0.36-3
kernel RPMs) using the 2.2.2 kernel source tarball and the 2.2 support RPMs
(modutils etc.) from the RedHat FTP site.  The new kernel is working fine
*except* for PPP.

I'm using pppd 2.0.35 (5.2 RPM), and have PPP compiled into the kernel.
Following some messages I found on Dejanews, I have added the
ppp-compress-xx aliases to conf.modules to take care of the "module not
found" messages, but it still complains about the "ppp0" module.

After dialing in to the server, performance is poor - transfers seems
to occur in short bursts instead of a stream.  Sessions are terminated
after a few minutes by a purported SIGHUP signal - there is no sign of
impending doom prior to this.  :)  (This occurred infrequently under
5.2 - very annoying.)  tcpdump has not shown up any obvious problems
like nack packets, but I haven't gone too deeply into this.

Has anyone managed to successfully get a working PPP configuration
under the 2.0.xx kernels to work correctly with 2.2.x?

Thanks in advance.
