I agree with Julien [3] that your best chances to get this resolved are
to contact the debian-user or debian-user-german list where hopefully
more knowledgeable than me will be able to help. This problem is quite
off-topic to the Debian-eeepc-devel list.

(By the way, if you have another system where Debian is running with
this `ppp` version then you could compare the behavior or try some live
CD which uses PPP 2.4.5. But I doubt that it is Eee PC related. Also you
could send a log with `2.4.4rel-10.1` for comparison.)

Thanks and good luck for solving this problem,

Paul
