    I got a BCMSM 4212 to work on Debian 2.2.20-idepci
    with the driver .rpm from Dell but it seems to hang up
    after a minute or so of idle time. I used "pppconfig"
    to set no hang-up at all for idle time, and it seems
    to be sort of a random period, ranging from 50 seconds
    to two minutes.

    If it's doing something with the connection, like a
    download, it works like a champ, but reading webpages
    means a redial everytime I pause to take the content
    in.

    Anyone know what this might be caused by?
