However, I'm not using PPP at all, and was having no such messages till 2.6.2. There were also some messages talking about IrDA issues, and I am using IrDA (which works fine). If this indeed is an IrDA problem, where can I find patches to fix it. If not, what else could be the problem? Thanks -- Diwaker Gupta Graduate Student, Computer Sc. and Engg.
