I'm trying to use an Alcatel USB ADSL modem to connect to my Internet Provider here in the UK. I've recompiled the kernel, added the modules and am using the correct pppd daemon to support transport. The whole thing is ALMOST working, but not quite. Whenever I try to bring up the ppp0 interface, hotplug seems to fail with an /etc/hotplug/net.<something> error, "Register Event not handled"

I was wondering if anyone could possibly shed any light on what could be causing this?
