Hostap and PPP interface

[Tuson Nguyen]

Dear all,

My hostap is running OK but PPP interface does not show up. My configuration 
is:
Linux Suse 8.2
Hostap 0.0.3
Wireless tool 26
Netgear PCI card running on an AMD-duron machine.
eth0 pointing to my LAN
CAPI card for DSL.

What I did was:
- Install Suse 8.2
- make oldconfig to generate .config file.
- Edit .config file to change KERNELRELEASE to VERSION.PATCHLEVEL.SUBLEVEL 
(for example 2.4.20) as SUSE would make it 2.4.20-4GB-duron and hostap 
doesnot like it)
- make the new kernel and install it
- make and install new modules to /lib/modules/2.4.20
- reboot with the new kernel.
- make and install hostap_pci
- make and install wirelesstool

then modprobe hostap_pci would run OK and I can do all the ifconfig and 
iwconfig with wlan0 without problem. But now I want to go online so I set up 
my DSL interface to be CAPI for ADSL. At booting, dsl0 interface will show 
up, and smpppd starts OK, but I can not see ppp0 with ifconfig. It was all 
OK if I run the original kernel without hostap.

I check the .config file and CONFIG_ISDN was set to m.

Did I make mistake some where or I missed out something? Your help is 
appreciated.

Happy wirelessing!
