Problem setting up iBurst USB-terminal on SuSE 9.3

SuSE 10.0.
Sure I'll check it out for you.
Do you experience any problems with iBurst on SuSE?

Nothing that can't be worked around. I have some patches that I've tested on SuSE 10.0, I'll compare your log with what my patches try to fix.

I found out something else.
I can dis/connect as much as I want to the first hour and surf as well but after that, it stops responding.

This is what I get from /var/log/messages:

Code:

May 20 11:30:57 SLinux pppd[22881]: Plugin passwordfd.so loaded.
May 20 11:30:57 SLinux pppd[22881]: pppd 2.4.3 started by root, uid 0
May 20 11:30:57 SLinux pppd[22881]: Interface eth1 has MTU of 1492 -- should be 1500.  You may have serious connection problems.
May 20 11:31:32 SLinux pppd[22881]: Timeout waiting for PADS packets
May 20 11:31:32 SLinux pppd[22881]: Unable to complete PPPoE Discovery
May 20 11:31:32 SLinux pppd[22881]: Exit.

Hope this helps.

Its weird.
Ever since I've got my gateway working, my connection hasn't disconnected by itself or anything for almost 2.5 hours now.
But if I get any more problems, I'll post it here with log stuff.

Man its been hours and I havn't found any problems now with iBurst. Infact ever since I made it a gateway, my internet speed has increased A LOT!
Thanks man, your driver patch really did something wonderful. I heard a lot of other people complaining that it disconnects all of a sudden for no reason. I've had it on for over 4 (I think) and its still going good!
Oh, if you're interrested, check out this thread : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=445016

Its about a Windows app to control the smpppd daemon.

The symptoms you describe are more likely to be issues with your iBurst service provider authenticating your NAI (login string) - there may have been transient problems wit your service providers Radius Server. I suspect if you were using a Windows PC performing similar actions you would probably see similar symptopms.

Any case if you have recurrance of the problem or something new/different post the the logfile extract as well, to help diagnose the problem.
