The current problem with PPP is RiscBSD specific.
It seems to be that the kernel configuration information about PPP 
interfaces is not being included in irqhandler.c which is an arm32 
specific file. In the 1.1 kernel sources this file included ppp.h, in the 
1.2 sources it does not. A simple fix is to build your own kernel with a 
modifed irqhandler.c which includes ppp.h and probably sl.h as well.

Is there any include file which includes all the configuration header 
files or should the .c file just #include all the ones that are relevant?
