The `badness' thing is just telling us that netdevices aren't fully up to
speed with the kobject layer yet. Don't worry about that.

As for the ppp problem: don't know, sorry. There was a small change in ppp
between those two kernel versions, so it would be useful if you could do a
`patch -R' of the below, see if that fixes mm3-1. Thanks.

Andrew,

Sorry for the late reply :

I made the patch -R of ppp stuf against mm3-1 : same result as with the patch.

I thought making a strace -f pppd of both a working kernel (test2-mm2) and the first non working
(test2-mm3-1) can be usefull, strace result files are available at http://coste.florent.free.fr

(pid of mm3 have been changed to match the ones of mm2 so that the diff is easy to read).

I also made the same test with test2-mm4 : same result as mm3-1. I'll test 2.6.0-test3(-mm1) soon

Great Regards,

Florent
