Guy,

Yes, Mandrake's kernel source includes MPPE support, and the kernel.org
sources do not.  Other distributions also add MPPE support in this way;
Debian and SUSE included.  Red Hat do not.

I know Debian get their kernel-patch-mppe package from PPP CVS.  I
suspect Mandrake and SUSE did as well.  You should check that the
sources match what is in PPP CVS.  To get PPP CVS onto your system,

	cd /usr/src  # (or some other reasonable directory)
	cvs -d :pserver:cvs@pserver.samba.org:/cvsroot co ppp/linux/mppe

If you've made changes to drivers/net/sha1.{c,h} and Mandrake got these
from Frank Cusack's work that is in PPP CVS (directory linux/mppe), then
you could post them here or to Frank.  

Matt Domsch, Jan Dubiec, and some others have also been working on the
MPPE patch; they have posted to the PPTP mailing lists.

If you logged a bug report with Mandrake, one would hope that they would
elevate this report back to Frank.  ;-)  There is a risk that they will
adjust their patch instead.
