I don't think you need one. You should just create the one on
connection; if autopush is enabled for sppp, I'd expect the
module to be there. But perhaps you can test using ifconfig modinsert.

You'd need to boot under the kernel debugger (boot -k) and then
type F1-A.

I think you may need to use the "plink" option for ppp in order
to push the appropriate modules on the stack.
