PPP support in generic HDLC in Linux 2.6.25 is broken and will cause a kernel panic when a device configured in PPP mode is activated. It will be replaced by new PPP implementation after Linux 2.6.25 is released. This affects only PPP support in generic HDLC (mostly Hitachi SCA and SCA-II based drivers, wanxl, and few others). Standalone syncppp and async PPP support are not affected. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Halasa <khc@pm.waw.pl> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

|
|
Wide Area Networks (WANs), such as X.25, Frame Relay and leased
|
|
lines, are used to interconnect Local Area Networks (LANs) over vast
|
|
distances with data transfer rates significantly higher than those
|
|
achievable with commonly used asynchronous modem connections.
|
|
|
|
Usually, a quite expensive external device called a `WAN router' is
|
|
needed to connect to a WAN. As an alternative, a relatively
|
|
inexpensive WAN interface card can allow your Linux box to directly
|
|
connect to a WAN.
|
|
|
|
If you have one of those cards and wish to use it under Linux,
|
|
say Y here and also to the WAN driver for your card.

If unsure, say N.
