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.

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?

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?
