patch-1.3.69 conflicts with ppp 2.2.0e, they both hit
include/linux/ppp_defs.h. If you have already done make kernel for ppp then
applying patch_1.3.69 will fail. It says "patch already applied, assume
-R?". You must reply "n" and when patch says "apply anyway?" reply "n"
again.
This will create ppp_defs.h.rej which can be ignored and should be deleted.
If you are using scripts/patch-kernel it will complain that you have reject
files, you will have to remove the .orig files yourself, see the last find
command in scripts/patch-kernel.
