    Subjectppp-compress-{1,21,24}: add aliases to default config?

    PPP is now looking for its compressors via modprobe. This is great, but
    the ppp-compress-1 and -21 are not known to modprobe:

    # modprobe -c|grep ppp
    alias ppp0 ppp
    alias ppp1 ppp
    alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp

    I am using the latest modutils:

    # modprobe -V
    modprobe (Linux modutils) 2.1.71

    and kernel 2.1.76.

    I looked in the ppp source and found include/ppp-comp.h. Based on
    that, I have added the following lines to my /etc/conf.modules:

    alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
    alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
    alias ppp-compress-1 off # This is Predictor-1, not yet supported

    And am getting a nice

    Dec 27 21:09:59 localhost kernel: PPP BSD Compression module registered

    instead of

    Dec 27 20:10:11 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-21
    Dec 27 20:10:11 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-1

    I'm still getting

    Dec 27 21:10:29 localhost pppd[918]: CCP: timeout sending Config-Requests

    but perhaps that is a separate issue.
