I just submitted this bug, which was noted as resolved... but I can confirm that the problem still exists.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556781 I had been testing NM from PPA for Ubuntu Hardy... and now I'm testing NM 0.7.0 included in Ubuntu Intrepid, and I still see the same behavior. The CDMA connection does not have the "Send ppp echo packets" checked... which was explained to me as LCP echo. In the bug report, I also noted a work around, which is to disable LCP echo requests and interval setting in the global PPP options file: /etc/ppp/options: lcp-echo-interval 0 lcp-echo-failure 0 This resolves the issue for me. Perhaps you can also comment on the bug report. -- Gilbert Mendoza PGP: 0x075DBCA9 Email: gmendoza at gmail.com http://www.savvyadmin.com https://launchpad.net/~gmendoza https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GilbertMendoza On Wed, Oct 22, 2008 at 10:18 AM, Rick Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Having hacked a binary patch into NM (just for the init string) so my Palm > modem will connect, I now find that it systematically disconnects after > exactly 2 minutes. > > In the log, the modem state suddenly goes from 8 -> 7, and then everything > unwinds.
