Hi. Today I upgraded my kernel to a newer version, the 2.6.12-r10. Everything seems to be ok, excpet the ADSL connection, which is not working but I cannot understand why. This is a part of the config file:

Code:
CONFIG_PLIP=m
CONFIG_PPP=y
# CONFIG_PPP_MULTILINK is not set
# CONFIG_PPP_FILTER is not set
CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC=m
CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY=m
CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE=m
CONFIG_PPP_BSDCOMP=m
CONFIG_PPPOE=m
# CONFIG_SLIP is not set
# CONFIG_NET_FC is not set
# CONFIG_SHAPER is not set
# CONFIG_NETCONSOLE is not set


the problem is that the driver for the netcard is loaded correctly, but when the system tries to connect I get this error:

Code:
modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting ppp_async (/lib/modules/2.6.12-gentoo-r10/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_async.ko): unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)


I tried everything, but it won't work. I saw a bug related to this, and so I tried to make PPP built-in. This way, I don't get this error, but the ADSL connection attempt goes time out. The old kernel 2.6.11 still works ok. Do you have any idea of what could there be wrong?
Thanks.

With the same kernel config file I solved using the new kernel version 2.6.13-r3. Anyway, I don't know the reason for the other error.
Thanks anyway.
