[wplug] packet loss

[Russ Schneider]

[Mandrake 8.2]

I've had this problem with packet loss for a while and I thought maybe 
someone here could help.

If I ping any destination, I'll get a 60-70% packet loss every time. 
This does not happen when I boot into Windows, so I know it's not a 
hardware, line-length, type problem.

Perhaps there's something here that I don't see:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:06:5B:1A:F2:C6
           inet addr:10.0.0.10  Bcast:10.0.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
           inet addr:208.40.xxx.xxx  P-t-P:208.40.xxx.x 
Mask:255.255.xxx.xxx
           UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1492  Metric:1
           RX packets:90708 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:101675 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
           RX bytes:33947430 (32.3 Mb)  TX bytes:11746458 (11.2 Mb)


The only thing I can think of is that somehow, the OS is thinking it has 
to send out a signal twice, once for the ppp and once for the eth.  But 
to be honest, I'm clueless.

Any ideas?
