[pptp-server] pppd 2.4.1 kernel 2.4.5 and this dumb stupid ppp_mppe.o

[George Vieira]

OK.. I got my network card problems fixed but my ppp-compress-18 still won't
work even after blowing away my kernel again and redoing the patches (2
only).

If I turn off data encryption it works but not encryted and I get the
following /var/log/messages logs. Has anybody tried using pppd 2.4.1 and
kernel 2.4.5 with pptp patches?

The damn file exists in /lib/modules/2.4.5/drivers.net/ppp_mppe.o but won't
see it.
