By now I did ;-).
I must admit I didn't expect such a dependency between the kernel
version and the ppp version (as opposed, say, to gcc version). On the
other hand, I know that PPP support has to be compiled into the
kernel, so I could have expected it, if I were more lucid late
yesterday night. I would not expect such info in Documentation/Changes
of the kernel either, intuitively that should reflect changes in the
kernel, i.e. "ReiserFS is now fully supported" and "UFS is not
supported any longer" stuff, rather than "PPP before 2.4 doesn't work
any more". I know it is not so, I am just saying it's not very
intuitive. Should there be a Documentation/Prerequisites or something?
And finally, I didn't find any warning anywhere in RH web pages or
guinness-list archives. They happily ship ppp-2.3.11 and rpmfind
--apropos ppp didn't show ppp-2.4 either.
But all that is no excuse for not RTFMing enough. Thanks to everybody
who answered, to the lists and privately. I'll try the new ppp tonight.
I hope the 2.2 kernel won't break with the new ppp, will it?
