pptp fails with kernel 1526

The pptp package no longer works with the latest kernel -
2.6.13-1.1526_FC4.  More specifically, installing 
   rpm -ivh kernel_ppp_mppe-0.0.5-2dkms.noarch.rpm
fails, saying that the mppe is now included in this kernel.

However, there's a module missing that was present in earlier kernels
but is absent now:
  /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1456_FC4/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_mppe.ko

Without this module, pptpconfig cannot start a ppp link to a remote
pptp server.

I haven't found any notice of this problem on the pptp project page at
http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/

Can anyone confirm this problem?

I have reverted to kernel 2.6.12-1.1456_FC4 and pptp works fine.
