Doing modprobe ppp gives error: can't find module ppp
I'm temporarily solving this with (below is typed from memory, exact ordering or correct spelling is not guaranteed):
cd /lib/modules/2.6.17.8ReadyNAS/kernel/crypto && insmod sha1.ko && insmod arc4.ko
cd /lib/modules/2.6.17.8ReadyNAS/kernel/drivers/net && insmod slhc.ko && insmod ppp_generic.ko && insmod ppp_mppe.ko && insmod ppp_async.ko
There's no module named literally ppp. I believe the correct way to force load the modules would be with
modprobe -v ppp_generic
although I didn't find that to be necessary at all. The modules just load automatically when you try to connect via pptp.
If you're finding it necessary to use insmod directly, my guess is maybe you forgot to run
depmod -a
