Download and extract the
http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/2.4.31/userspec.tgz.431 file, too. It
contains modules (which may be useful to you later) and also an
updated pppd, which you will need to connect to the Internet with BL3
and a 2.4 kernel. When you try to connect for the first time, it
should tell you how to make a /dev/ppp (necessary for Linux 2.4 PPP
networking). After that, it should work without any intervention.

I don't know why this kernel works automatically with your
keyboard/rodent combo and the Debian kernel doesn't.

BTW, the pppd from that userspec package is statically compiled. It
will work with BL3, but if you prefer, I can build a libc5 version.

HTH,
David
