I applied the first patch to 2.6.0-ben1 (benH's tree) and had a couple of hard freezes on my iBook. Not on the first ppp connection since boot, but around 4th or 5th).
I _suspect_ (with absolutely no evidence) this was the same problem as the ppp oopses pointed by other people with 2.6.0-mm1.
But I was under X and nothing was written to the logs (ie. no info at all about the error), so I couldn't tell if the culprit was ppp_async.
And this was the very first time I used my modem (rs-232 with usb-serial / ftdi_sio) with 2.6, so I had too little info to post anything here.
But the fact is that with this lastest patch (w/ the correction pointed by Marcel Sebek, everything seems to work ok here (about half a dozen connections w/o problems).
Just wanted to add some info in case it could be useful to track this issue.
Feel free to ask any additional info, I'll be glad if I can help in any way.
A big thank you to everyone and season's greetings
