For the connection I use ppp (2.4.5) and as a link setup helper either wvdial or chat. The problem occurs after many hours of being online so the link setup part is unlikely the source. What kinds of things might be sent well into an active ppp session to the modem to crash the firmware? How would I log things as you suggest? I already use the ppp debug option and the logs shows no special control packets just prior to the crash. I do sometimes hibernate/resume with the dongle plugged in though the connection is always closed. Might things be getting corrupted across suspend cycles? ~ Andy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
