File: /usr/sbin/pppd
I have a PCMCIA UMTS/HSDPA card Option GlobeTrotter GT Max:
02:00.0 Network controller: Option N.V. Qualcomm MSM6275 UMTS chip
I use these ppp options:

After some time, usually something around 12 to 36 hours of the
connection beeing connected, the ppp connection hangs, and attempt to
ping through it results in:
ping: sendmsg: No buffer space available
ping: sendmsg: No buffer space available

However I have also seen this on a different Option GT card (Option
GlobeTrotter Fusion), and also on a completely different computer, but
with the same version of Debian installed.
http://www.debianhelp.org/node/5452
claims that it was a bug in kernel ppp driver fixed in 2.6.20.5
PPP: Fix PPP skb leak
but I have 2.6.21 now and it still occurs for me.
