From 16a79142e51f9eedbf3ae9a20d9cdb2f88c86acc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Krzysztof Halasa Date: Sat, 12 Apr 2008 10:10:40 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Mark generic HDLC + PPP as broken. PPP support in generic HDLC in Linux 2.6.25 is broken and will cause a kernel panic when a device configured in PPP mode is activated. It will be replaced by new PPP implementation after Linux 2.6.25 is released. This affects only PPP support in generic HDLC (mostly Hitachi SCA and SCA-II based drivers, wanxl, and few others). Standalone syncppp and async PPP support are not affected.
