I am getting a funny behavior. Maybe the cardbus support is not very stable after all, maybe there is some other bug. While I am home, where there is no 3G, but only a 1XRTT network, the connection is kind of slow, but stable. I can leave a download the whole night and it will make its steady progress. When I am at work, where there is 3G, the connection is faster, but speed varies widely (and wildly :-). This is not a problem in itself, but in addition to that, I am getting the following in /var/adm/messages: ... spppasyn: [ID ... kern.notice] sppp0: bad fcs (len=...) This seems to be a bug somewhere, but I have no clue where. Also the following message shows up sometimes on /var/adm/messages: ... spppasyn: [ID ... kern.notice] sppp0: frame too long (1536 bytes) Now, this is strange. ifconfig -a shows that sppp0 is FIXEDMTU and its MTU is 1500, even if I set mtu 2048 in my pppd options file. Could this be a bug too or only a misconfiguration of mine?
