Hello Jochen,

> insmod ppp_deflate :

Oh no, yet another dependency bug with PPP. :-( You have CONFIG_PPP=n,
CONFIG_ISDN_PPP=y. That causes ppp_deflate.o to be built as a module
but there is no ppp.o available.

If you want to work around this, enable CONFIG_PPP in your configuration.

I don't have time to patch this today but I'll work on it tomorrow
(unless someone else gets to it first).

Regards,
