No, there is something for you to do: You need to put it in the kernel if you want it. cd /sys/i386/conf cp GENERIC (your system name here in upper case) vi (that same upper case name) go to the bottom of the file and look at the "sl" device example do the same thing with "ppp" config (that same upper case name) cd /sys/compile/(that same upper case name) make depend make su root make install shutdown -r now :-)
