If I flush the firewall rules: iptables -F Bring down the eth0 interface: ifconfig eth0 down Connect with the modem: wvdial & Bring up the interface: ifconfig eth0 192.168.7.1

At this point the ppp0 interface drops off and redials. It is no longer able to maintain a stable connection. ppp0 and eth0 do not use the same IP range.

Maybe IRQ-conflicts? A long-shot but look into the hwconfig and see if there's something fishy.
