Hi,

Bringing up my ppplink brought the following:

[snip]
modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-21
modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-26
modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-24
[snip]

Bringing it down & up again yielded:

[snip]
insmod: /lib/modules/2.1.116/net/slhc.o: a module named slhc already exists
insmod: /lib/modules/2.1.116/net/ppp.o: unresolved symbol slhc_init_Rsmp_1ca65fca
insmod: /lib/modules/2.1.116/net/ppp.o: unresolved symbol slhc_compress_Rsmp_cfd3a418

insmod: /lib/modules/2.1.116/net/ppp.o: a module named ppp already exists
modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-21
modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-26
modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-24
[snip]

I estimate the latter one is due to having kmod and kerneld running
simultaneously, but the first one disturbs me (it does no harm, everything
works, but it is not NICE).

While I'm at it: Anyone got a list of possible aliases for conf.modules or a
list of such as the above ("alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc" comes to mind)
-> maybe a FAQ on conf.modules wrt to the "virtual" modules (i.e. those which
do not exist actually, like "scsi_hostadapter", "parport_lowlevel", ... all
those who have to be conf.module'd when using them as a module with
kmod/kerneld).
