| |
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.
