    Hello,

    I just upgraded a system from 2.4.22 to 2.4.23. However I can't get pppd to
    work anymore. When I initiate the pppoe connection with "pppd eth0", pppd
    freezes on the command line. After a while it exits. The syslog receives a

    Nov 30 17:05:58 spot pppd[317]: Failed to negotiate PPPoE connection: 25
    Inappropriate ioctl for device
    Nov 30 17:05:58 spot pppd[317]: Exit.

    I also found these messages:

    Nov 30 17:09:54 spot pppd[585]: Plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.1/pppoe.so loaded.
    Nov 30 17:10:14 spot pppd[585]: PPPoE Plugin Initialized
    Nov 30 17:10:23 spot kernel: request_module[escape]: fork failed, errno 1
    Nov 30 17:10:23 spot pppd[585]: tdb_store failed: Success
    Nov 30 17:10:43 spot kernel: request_module[escape]: fork failed, errno 1
    Nov 30 17:10:53 spot pppd[586]: tdb_store key failed: Success
    Nov 30 17:11:13 spot kernel: request_module[crtscts]: fork failed, errno 1

    I've attached an strace of pppd in case someone can spot something useful
    there.

    Has there been any fundamental changes from .22->.23 in the pppoe driver? I've
    also attached the .config of the kernel in case there is some new option I
    missed?

    Any pointers would be appreciated.

    Regards,
    Oliver
