Hi, I recently upgraded my kernel to 2.6.15, enabling MPPE so I could connect to my campus network's VPN.
I'm using pptpconfig to set up the connection. It's plain-vanilla, name of the server and such with the require_mppe box checked. I'm connecting via 802.11g, using ndiswrapper to by Broadcom 3150 wireless adapter. If I have this configuration, as it is now, on my campus network, the connection drops after a few minutes. It also drops my wi-fi connection. I kill dhcpcd and restart it to re-acquire an IP, and life is good again. The wi-fi connection is stable unless I do this. -- Justin W.
