Btw, at least with rp-pppoe it requires HDLC and that dependency isn't caught in menuconfig. I would try to roll back some patches between 2.6.15.7 and 2.6.16 but that changelog is pretty large. I'm sure there are good reasons for the current development model, but with the old unstable/stable system and its few changes between stable versions, the right one could've been spotted easily :/.
