Comment 71 for bug 60764

I'm getting this error ON MY VERIZON WIRELESS NOVATEL USB760 which of course uses ppp. Natch, the broadfix doesn't change anything. Neither does typing the command using only my left hand. My expectation of either of those fixing the problem was very low.

Have never seen this problem using 9.10 nbr on the machine on my right. Always happens with a fresh 10.04 beta (updated an hour ago) install on the machine to my left. Both machines are Lenovo S10e.

Will try installing 9.10. If it fails on one but not the other .... that points at dodgy hardware.
