Hi all!

I just had the same problem with ppp0 and kernel 424.

unregistered_netdevice: waiting for ppp0 to become free. Usage count = 1

First I couldn't reach outside networks anymore, I tried to restart the
VPN connection. Then the above message appeared in the console.
Killing pppd failed (even with -9). I tried to reboot, but reboot didn't
complete cause syslogd was repeating the message as in Ed's case.
I ended up in a power cycle - now it works again.

It worked perfect in kernel 391custom (just added NTFS support)

Cheers,
Hannes.
