[pptp-server] PPP-2.3.11 & PoPToP 1.0.1 & Kernel 2.2.19

[Chen Shiyuan]

Hello and thanks for your prompt response,

I forgot to mention in my earlier email that I am using the stock kernel 
source 2.2.19.tgz and not using the RPM files.

And upon compilation after patching, vmlinuz could not be created with 
an error message :-

> drivers/net/net.a(Space.o)(.data.init+0x0): undefined reference
> to 
> `tc90xbc_probe'
> make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
