Hm, it's a syntax bug in kernel config file. With this patch, it should fix this problem. next kernel rebuild should have this fix. --- drivers/net/wan/Config.in.orig 2003-07-30 15:19:32.000000000 +0200 +++ drivers/net/wan/Config.in 2003-07-30 15:19:19.000000000 +0200 @@ -80,8 +80,7 @@ if [ "$CONFIG_PCI" != "n" ]; then dep_tristate ' Cyclades-PC300 support (RS-232/V.35, X.21, T1/E1 boards)' CONFIG_PC300 $CONFIG_HDLC if [ "$CONFIG_PC300" != "n" ]; then - if ["$CONFIG_PPP" != "n" -a "$CONFIG_PPP_MULTLINK" != "n" -a "$CONFIG_PPP_SYNCTTY" != "n" -a "$CONFIG_HDLC_PPP" = "y"]; - then + if [ "$CONFIG_PPP" != "n" -a "$CONFIG_PPP_MULTLINK" != "n" -a "$CONFIG_PPP_SYNCTTY" != "n" -a "$CONFIG_HDLC_PPP" = "y" ]; then bool ' Cyclades-PC300 MLPPP support' CONFIG_PC300_MLPPP else comment ' Cyclades-PC300 MLPPP support is disabled.
