Card information, pcmcia information, dmesg, messages, debug, strace

And I forgot to mention, I've tested with some usual kernel parameters which
could help. Machine is Fujitsu-Siemens C-Series (C1320D) laptop.

Tried parameters: acpi=off noapic pci=routeirq

One thing about noapic makes me wonder, it still says:
"Found and enabled local APIC"

But no help with those.

Something more still:

Works nicely with old Option Globetrotter same operator and sim card
and v2 model of Vodafode branded Globetrotter (v1 has broken .cis and don't know
how to put valid when card is inserted with fc5 new system).

Operator has told that their system doesn't see anything wrong.

I were told that this isn't ppp's fault, and i were thinking that the problem
lies somewhere in the kernel.. But maybe not then..

Continue my efforts to make it work..

Is the pppd server dying?

Can you please start the pppd server in gdb and get a traceback? It would help
if you install the pppd-debuginfo package for this.

Ok, used gdb and well ppp don't die, no core, no backtrace.
It just gets the "SIGHUP" -> Hangup from somewhere..

This seems to be a kernel problem. Assigning to kernel.

I have a similar problem in my FC-5 system: my ADSL connection freezes a couple
of seconds after establishing a successful connection.

This only happens with the 2.6.17 update kernels; no problems with previous ones
(2.6.16). Right now I using the kernel 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5.

ADSL USB modem: Tompshon SpeedTouch 330.

It now works with kernel 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5.

A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5)
based upon a new upstream kernel release.

Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches
go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that
may address this problem.

This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state.
Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is
still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed.

In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5
have reported that installing a kernel update has left their
systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem
please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2
installed.  See bug 207474 for further details.

If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the
release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613.

If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different
problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem.

Thank you.

This bug has been mass-closed along with all other bugs that
