 |
|
I get the following when I try to modprobe ppp_mppe:
| Code: | [~] root $ modprobe ppp_mppe
FATAL: Error inserting ppp_mppe (/lib/modules/2.6.20-gentoo-r8/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_mppe.ko): No such device
[~] root $ ls /lib/modules/2.6.20-gentoo-r8/kernel/drivers/net/
bsd_comp.ko ppp_async.ko ppp_deflate.ko ppp_generic.ko ppp_mppe.ko ppp_synctty.ko pppoe.ko pppox.ko slhc.ko wireless
|
Any idea what I am missing? |

did you compile the kernel with PPPOE support as module ?

Try this first to see if it works.
modprobe ppp_mppe force=1
lsmod
to list loaded modules ( or modprobe ppp_mppe.ko force=1 and then next lsmod )
Also "insmod ppp_mppe.ko force=1" you might have to with or without the .ko try it as on wants it one way the other the otherway you get the idea.
Not sure but "rc-update add net.wlan0 default" where the net.wlan0 is replaced with apropriate text for your device is also a option but not sure about this try to google for it.
A crude way is to " nano -w /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 " and then just add the "ppp_mppe" to the file this will load the module during start up , then you do not have to modprobe or insmod it at all.
Just reboot and it works. |

Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter
This looks like a defective module or busted one.
Might work with a newer copy of this or older or alternatively try one of the other ppp out there.
Could be lucky and find it in the live cd /dvd if you have one
I tried to find a copy and attach it for you but I looked in my system and the oldest I have is kernel 2.6.21-rc2 mm-sources and it is not there. SRY
The name might have changed as well or be part of a new combined generic type module as this seem to be the current thinking in the kernel 2.6.22+ mm-sources

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=twh&q=ppp_mppe+2.6.20&btnG=Search
Out of ideas here.
Hope this help |

I'm joining the thread because I have the exact same problem. I've been using ppp_mppe for some time, but I just noticed that it's failing to load during the boot. As I remember, this was very easy to enable in the kernel config, make, install, and modprobe with no issues.
I'm thinking that it's a kernel config issue, but I'm not sure what.
here are my config for PPP
| Quote: | CONFIG_PPP=y
# CONFIG_PPP_MULTILINK is not set
CONFIG_PPP_FILTER=y
CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC=m
CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY=m
CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE=m
CONFIG_PPP_BSDCOMP=m
CONFIG_PPP_MPPE=m
CONFIG_PPPOE=m
# CONFIG_PPPOL2TP is not set

| Are you having any issues with sha1 loading during boot? Check the dmesg log. |

Okay, refer to this: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Set_up_a_vpn_client_with_mppe_encryption
And, get your settings right. I had sha1 built into the kernel. I changed it to a module and did:
| Quote: | modprobe sha1
modprobe ppp_mppe
|
And, it loaded. I'm amazed that my Verizon wireless was working without mppe, but I'm sure it will be much faster now. |
