No, I meant the problem Gary was speeking about is fixed in 0.82 (It was a 
problem which could have occured also with ipr, but actually only occured
under certain circumstances with sppp; it was not a problem in sppp but in the
driver itself.)

Anyway: I can't reproduce your compile problems under 3.2-RELEASE. 0.82 
definitely compiles, even the sppp part.
