Description of problem: According to xl2tpd description "xl2tpd supports the pppol2tp kernel mode operations on 2.6.23 or higher, or via a patch in contrib for 2.4.x kernels.", but it's built without -DUSE_KERNEL. I've rebuilt xl2tpd rpm with USE_KERNEL option, but got the following errors when running it: xl2tpd[12049]: Using l2tp kernel support. ... xl2tpd[12049]: setsockopt recvref[22]: Protocol not available ... xl2tpd[12049]: start_pppd: Unable to connect PPPoL2TP socket. Module l2tp_ppp (as well as l2tp_netlink/l2tp_core/pppoe/pppox) was loaded. And it's working without the module with same configuration. Is it possible to use xl2tpd with kernel support on Fedora's kernel? And if it is possible, could the package in Fedora rebuilt with this option? Full log is in attachment. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.37-2.fc15.x86_64 ppp-2.4.5-12.fc14.x86_64 xl2tpd-1.2.7-1.fc14.1.x86_64 (built with USE_KERNEL)

xl2tpd still uses the non-merged in kernel patch style. It needs to be updated to support the new CONFIG_L2TP hooks. It is not specific to fedora kernels.
Please try out the rawhide build 1.3.1-5 which adds kernel mode support http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4003161 I might still change the patch, as I don't like the daemon trying to load the module, and I'll move that into the init script. I've also seen it generate a kernel panic when the ppp l2tp plugin is missing, which is true for the rhel version but not of the fedora version.
