Re: Strange network problems on ppp interface
Hmmmmm!
I reported almost the exact same problem right about the time when kernel
2.2.0 came out. At that time I was running 2.0.36+kerneli and had updated
to 2.2.0, and didn't know a thing until our cable modem went out and I
needed to use the Ricochet. I'm almost certain it's a kernel issue,
because the same system worked fine with a Creative external modem on the
same serial port.
If i weren't way outside Ricochet's network range (I'm about 80 miles
outside Reno right now, had Ricochet when I was living in San Jose) I'd
hook my radio up and try it.
I *think* it has to do with 2.2.x's TCP protocol stack, seeing as UDP and
ICMP seem to be handled fine through it.
Did you upgrade your kernel as well, or can you add some detail which
would rule out ther kernel being at fault?

Actually, if my memory serves me, it's been about one year since I
reported the problem originally.
