Hi, the linux kernel 2.4.10-pre14 ppp driver seems to be broken for me. In kernels <= 2.4.9 it used to work fine!
When i try to insmod the "ppp_async" module it complains about "unresolved symbol tty_register_ldisc" and therefore refuses to load.
After looking at the changes being introduced in 2.4.10-pre I was able to fix the problem:
The problem is caused by the fact, that in 2.4.10-pre* the line EXPORT_SYMBOL(tty_register_ldisc); has been _removed_ from 'net/netsyms.c'
after readding this line (i added the "EXPORT_SYMBOL(tty_register_ldisc);" right under the tty_register_ldisc declaration in "drivers/char/tty_io.c", but "net/netsyms.c" should work too) and recompiling everything now works fine for me. (ppp_async now loads correctly again)
Therefore I recommend you to readd the EXPORT_SYMBOL(tty_register_ldisc); line whereever you consider it the right place (e.g. drivers/char/tty_io.c etc)
