Yes, PPPoE works fine with 2.4.0. PLEASE read $YOUR_KERNEL_SOURCE/Documentation/CHANGES and setup your alias correctly. For example (my System):
/etc/modules.conf:
---------------cut----------------- # Ok, here we start with 2.4.x stuff ! # LVM 0.9 alias alias block-major-58 lvm-mod alias char-major-109 lvm-mod
#CPU alias char-major-10-184 microcode
#PPP alias char-major-108 ppp_generic alias /dev/ppp ppp_generic alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async alias tty-ldisc-14 ppp_synctty alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate #end 2.4.0 ---------------cut--------------------
