: Can you try current with pccbb.c 1.118?

: christos

Yes, I'd like to - but how? Just compile a current kernel?

Anyway, I have compiled a -current GENERIC_LAPTOP kernel. It boots fine but when I run pppd it compalains that the system lacks ppp support. Is this because I have downgraded to a 2.0_STABLE userland? I haven't modified the GEN_LAP conf at all.

Thanks in advance
