Hi all.
I've tried today to enable the PPP Synchronous mode for my PPPoE
connection , and ifconfig reports a very strange thing:
melchior:/home/melchior# ifconfig

Look at the ppp0 section , and look at the RX packets area , the
corrupted packages are MORE than the correct packages !! With async mode
this doesn't happen .
Someone have said me that It could be a kernel bug , is this possible?
During the connection I don't see any problem , all runs perfectly .
Thank you for your attention :
