I can' t use ppp with pre-100-1, pppd tell me:
May 3 01:50:55 dragon pppd[169]: Serial connection established. May 3 01:50:56 dragon pppd[169]: Using interface ppp0 May 3 01:50:56 dragon pppd[169]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem May 3 01:51:02 dragon pppd[169]: ioctl(SIOCADDRT) device route: Network is down(100) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ May 3 01:51:02 dragon pppd[169]: Connection terminated. May 3 01:51:02 dragon pppd[169]: Exit.
Read the following from Documentation/networking/ppp.txt:
*NEWSFLASH* This kernel release needs a minor bug fix for pppd to run properly with the new routing code. When your pppd doesn't work apply the following patch to pppd-2.2.0f or update to the newest pppd version.
Patch:
