Both 2.1.128 and 2.1.130 seem to work fine here.

Check that the lp module is nor loaded (or parallel printer support
is compiled into the kernel).
Here is my current configuration:
in /etc/conf.modules I have these lines:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7
To start plip I do:
# ifconfig plip0 peerA pointopoint peerB up
To get plip working when it is not a module I pass
these options to the kernel:
parport=0x378,7 plip=parport0
