Installation instructions for installing ppp-2.2.1 on FreeBSD and
NetBSD systems.
This package supports NetBSD-1.1, NetBSD-1.0, FreeBSD-2.0, and
FreeBSD-1.1.5.1. It should work on later systems. Modloading is not
yet supported.
To install PPP, you need to rebuild your kernel to include the latest
version of the PPP driver, as well as compiling and installing the
user-level applications: pppd, pppstats and chat. The user-level
applications can be compiled and installed either before or after you
reboot with the new kernel (you'll have to reboot with the new kernel
before you can run them, of course).
The following commands should compile and install the user-level
applications (in the ppp-2.2.1 directory):
./configure
make
make install (you need to be root for this)
The process of updating the kernel source files is now largely
automated. In the ppp-2.2.1 directory, issue the command:
make kernel
(you probably need to be root for this). This will copy new versions
of several files into /sys, patch other files, and finally give you
instructions about modifying your kernel configuration file (if
necessary), rebuilding the kernel and rebooting.
If you want to do the process by hand, read the next section.
Updating the kernel ppp code.
*****************************
You need to update several files in the /sys/net directory, and patch
some other files under /sys. The details depend on which operating
system you're running.
NetBSD-1.1.
===========
Copy the following files to /sys/net:
net/ppp-comp.h
netbsd-1.1/if_ppp.c
netbsd-1.1/ppp_tty.c
NetBSD-1.0.
===========
Copy the following files to /sys/net:
net/if_ppp.h
net/ppp-comp.h
net/ppp_defs.h
netbsd-1.0/bsd-comp.c
netbsd-1.0/if_ppp.c
netbsd-1.0/if_pppvar.h
netbsd-1.0/netisr.h
netbsd-1.0/ppp_tty.c
netbsd-1.0/slcompress.c
netbsd-1.0/slcompress.h
You then need to patch /sys/conf/files and /sys/conf/files.newconf
using the commands:
patch -p -N -d /sys/conf <netbsd-1.0/files.patch
patch -p -N -d /sys/conf <netbsd-1.0/files.newconf.patch
The next step is to patch the file containing the code which
dispatches software interrupts. Unfortunately, this code is in the
architecture-dependent files, so the file to patch depends on which
NetBSD port you are using:
Port File to patch Patch file is netbsd-1.0/arch/
---- ------------- ------------------------------
amiga /sys/arch/amiga/amiga/machdep.c amiga/machdep.c.patch
hp300 /sys/arch/hp300/hp300/machdep.c hp300/machdep.c.patch
i386 /sys/arch/i386/isa/icu.s i386/icu.s.patch
mac68k /sys/arch/mac68k/mac68k/machdep.c mac68k/machdep.c.patch
pc532 /sys/arch/pc532/pc532/locore.s pc532/locore.s.patch
pmax /sys/arch/pmax/pmax/trap.c pmax/trap.c.patch
sparc /sys/arch/sparc/sparc/intr.c sparc/intr.c.patch
sun3 /sys/arch/sun3/sun3/isr.c sun3/isr.c.patch
To do the patch, you would use a command something like this:
patch -p -d /sys/arch/i386/isa <netbsd-1.0/arch/i386/icu.s.patch
FreeBSD-2.0.
============
Copy the following files to /sys/net:
net/if_ppp.h
net/ppp-comp.h
net/ppp_defs.h
freebsd-2.0/bsd-comp.c
freebsd-2.0/if_ppp.c
freebsd-2.0/if_pppvar.h
freebsd-2.0/ppp_tty.c
freebsd-2.0/pppcompress.c
freebsd-2.0/pppcompress.h
You then need to patch /sys/conf/files using the command:
patch -p -N -d /sys/conf <freebsd-2.0/files.patch
FreeBSD-1.1.5.1.
================
Copy the following files to /sys/net:
net/if_ppp.h
net/ppp-comp.h
net/ppp_defs.h
freebsd-old/bsd-comp.c
freebsd-old/if_ppp.c
freebsd-old/if_pppvar.h
freebsd-old/ppp_tty.c
freebsd-old/slcompress.c
freebsd-old/slcompress.h
You then need to patch /sys/conf/files using the command:
patch -p -N -d /sys/conf <freebsd-old/files.patch
Then patch /sys/net/netisr.h with the command:
patch -p -N -d /sys/net <freebsd-old/netisr.h.patch
The next step is to patch the file containing the code which
dispatches software interrupts with the following command:
patch -p -N -d /sys/i386/isa <freebsd-old/icu.s.patch
Configuring and making the new kernel.
**************************************
First, make sure that the configuration file you are using includes a
line something like
pseudo-device ppp 2
If it doesn't, add one. The `2' is the number of ppp interfaces to
configure, that is, the maximum number of simultaneous ppp connections
you will be able to have; change it as required.
Next, run config or config.new in the directory containing the
configuration file, giving the configuration file name as an argument.
Then cd to the compilation directory and make the kernel. For the
i386 port of NetBSD, with a configuration file called CONF, this
involves the following commands:
cd /sys/arch/i386/conf
/usr/sbin/config CONF
cd ../compile/CONF
make
For FreeBSD, the commands are similar except for different
directories:
cd /sys/i386/conf
/usr/sbin/config CONF
cd ../../compile/CONF
make
The result should be a new kernel image (usually called `netbsd' under
NetBSD, `kernel' under FreeBSD). Save a copy of the kernel image
you're currently using, copy the new kernel image file to /, and
reboot.
