I've seen that problem since 2.2.x kernels.
I think there is an error while building cisco/ppp
keepalive packet (hdlc.c & syncppp.c).
Lines skb->nh.raw = skb->data;
will solve it.
Following patch is for 2.2.x kernel.
If you want to patch 2.4.x, simply add
skb->nh.raw = skb->data;
at cisco_keepalive_send (hdlc.c)
at sppp_cisco_send (syncppp.c)
and at sppp_cp_send (syncppp.c)
Here is a patch(for hdlc.c & syncppp.c from 2.2.x):
