[ptxdist] unrecognized option 'plugin'

[ptxdist] unrecognized option 'plugin'

[MC Potgieter]

I'm trying to use the ppp driver. In my console output I get the
following error:

Starting pppd...
/usr/sbin/pppd: In file /etc/ppp/options: unrecognized option 'plugin'
failed

Inside the /etc/ppp/options file its using the following plugin.

#
# Use the PPPoE plugin
#
plugin rp-pppoe.so

The rp-pppoe.so file is where its supposed to be /root/usr/lib/pppd/2.4.4
but it seems like the ppp driver does not recognize the 'plugin'
option (like the error states)

What could this be and how can I rectify it?

What's the output of

$ grep PLUGIN= platform-*/build-target/ppp-2.4.4/pppd/Makefile

grep PLUGIN= platform-*/build-target/ppp-2.4.4/pppd/Makefile

PLUGIN=y

But I've commented the line conatining "plugin rp-pppoe.so" because
I'm not using PPPoE, I'm using a GSM modem over serial. Hope not this
is a mistake.
Now I get an error:

Starting pppd...
/usr/sbin/pppd: In file /etc/ppp/options: unrecognized option 'active-filter'
failed
