Even on the old "frog" I have had to back out most of the latest changes
and go back to an old version.
The bits that seem to be causing the most problem are the "enable software
buffering" bit in modem_run.c and a lot of the latest code in pppoa3.c.
The patch for the 330 doesn't seem to cause me any problems although I've
stopped using it as it's easier for me to just use an old version from CVS.
I'm pretty sure this is a USB chipset problem (for me anyway). Unfortunately,
I don't have any spare PCI slots in my firewall and I can't find any
ISA USB cards (any suggestions?) so I can't use a different USB chipset.
(FWIW, I'm using modem_run.c 1.25 and pppoa3.c 1.24 currently with an
extra delay patch which makes my chipset mostly stable)
Regards,
Tim.
