Hello there, I don't know since when, ( before I had 2.6.16 and now I'm passed to 2.6.22.3), but now pppd while is running, it stops, or better it's live, but I can't send or receive....and if I kill it, it hangs-up the modem, but it remain live in D+state and I can only reboot the linux box :( Instead with 2.6.16 it works fine...well sometime it stops but I can kill and restart, but less often than 2.6.22. It appears to be random.....any hints? greetings Mike - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ppp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
