kernel 2.1.132, ppp 2.3.* and soundBlaster PCI128

kernel 2.1.132, ppp 2.3.* and soundBlaster PCI128

[Balaguru Nallathambi]

I downloaded kernel 2.1.132 to have support for the SoundBlaster PCI128.
I got the soundcard working, but the PPP does not work.

The only difference I notice with the previous kernel I had (2.0.34) is that
the ppp version has changed ( 2.0.34 came with ppp2.2.0 and 2.1.132 with 
ppp2.3.? ).

THe pppd sends confReq packet and the ISP sends back a confRej. This happens
for some time and pppd gives up atlast.

Have anyone else noticed the same problem. Is there a patch for this.
Or is it a version mismatch between the ISP and my machine at home.
If so, is it possible to have the new kernel with the old version of PPP
and how. 


Thanks,
-)Bala.

There already newer kernel versions than 2.1.132. The newest is 2.2.0-pre8.
Have thought of using one of them?
