Package: source
Version: 1.2.13-5

After installing the source package, makeconfigging it to my on needs and
compiling it, an error pops up while trying drivers/net/ppp.c:

ppp.c: In function `ppp_first_time':
ppp.c:442: warning: assignment from incompatable pointer type
ppp.c:446: warning: assignment from incompatable pointer tpye


Now, it wont quit at the point - it goes on to finish.  But when booting the
kernel I get this error:

unregister_netdev: device 'ppp0' unlinked
unregister_netdev: device 'ppp1' unlinked
unregister_netdev: device 'ppp2' unlinked
unregister_netdev: device 'ppp3' unlinked

Of course, once the box has booted I login and cat /proc/net/dev - and there
are no pppx's there - soloutions?

This one comes up in linux-ppp eveey week, they're not errors. pppd-2.2
allocates interfaces dynamically.

~$ cat /proc/net/dev

You won't see this message if it doesn't work :)

BTW: should i close the bug report or wait for pppd's maintainer to do it?

The new ppp dynamically allocates ppp devices.  The message you're getting
is ppp zapping your old device entries so they can now be dynamically
allocated.

All _should_ work as before.  If it doesn't, you should probably join
linux-ppp -- I'm just parroting what I picked up there.
